About the Book

Text in French

Au printemps 1940, quand l'Allemagne envahit le Danemark, la Norvège puis les Pays-Bas et la Belgique, la Waffen-SS y ouvre des bureaux de recrutement, avec des résultats mitigés, sinon médiocres. Mais quand le Troisième Reich se lance dans la guerre contre l'Union soviétique, la « croisade contre le bolchevisme » ravive l'engouement pour ce recrutement qui stagnait. Ainsi, quatre légions nationales, formées de volontaires germaniques, placées sous la coupe de Heinrich Himmler, sont levées et engagées sur le front de l'Est. Au printemps 1943, ces légions sont dissoutes pour donner naissance à de nouvelles formations SS, pour la plupart subordonnées au 3e corps blindé SS de volontaires germaniques, dont le commandement est confié à Felix Steiner, précédemment à la tête de la division Wiking, unité également en partie constituée de volontaires germaniques. Ce nouveau corps d'armée, sur lequel Himmler fonde beaucoup d'espoirs politiques, est envoyé dans les Balkans où il fait l'amère expérience du combat contre les partisans de Tito, avant de partir pour le front de l'Est qu'il ne quittera plus. Terriblement éprouvé lors de la retraite d'Oranienbaum, il livre une bataille héroïque à Narva où il se forge une réputation guerrière qui impressionne dans toute l'Europe. Les services de propagande du Reich mettront à profit ses exploits défensifs pour en faire le symbole de la lutte de l'Occident contre les hordes barbares venues de l'Asie. Estoniens, Wallons et Flamands le rejoignent au cours des terribles combats d'Estonie, puis ce sera la retraite vers la poche de Courlande, la bataille perdue d'avance en Poméranie et la lutte sans espoir dans et autour de Berlin.

Plus que tous les autres volontaires ayant rejoint la Waffen-SS au cours de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les Germaniques auront servi les projets de la future armée européenne dont rêvait Himmler.

**********

In the spring of 1940, when Germany invaded Denmark, Norway and then the Netherlands and Belgium, the Waffen-SS opened recruitment offices there, with mixed, if not mediocre, results. But when the Third Reich embarked on the war against the Soviet Union, the "crusade against Bolshevism" revived the enthusiasm for this stagnating recruitment. Thus, four national legions, made up of Germanic volunteers, placed under the thumb of Heinrich Himmler, were raised and engaged on the Eastern front. In the spring of 1943, these legions were disbanded to give birth to new SS formations, mostly subordinated to the 3rd SS armored corps of Germanic volunteers, whose command was entrusted to Felix Steiner, previously at the head of the Wiking division, a unit also partly made up of Germanic volunteers. This new army corps, on which Himmler pinned many political hopes, was sent to the Balkans where he had the bitter experience of fighting against Tito's partisans, before leaving for the eastern front which he won't leave again. Terribly tested during the retreat from Oranienbaum, he fought a heroic battle at Narva where he forged a warrior reputation that impressed throughout Europe. The propaganda services of the Reich will take advantage of its defensive exploits to make it the symbol of the struggle of the West against the barbarian hordes coming from Asia. Estonians, Walloons and Flemings join him during the terrible fighting in Estonia, then it will be the retreat towards the Courland pocket, the losing battle in Pomerania and the hopeless struggle in and around Berlin.

More than all the other volunteers who joined the Waffen-SS during the Second World War, the Germans will have served the projects of the future European army of which Himmler dreamed.
