The Officers of the SS & Waffen-SS Volume 2:B (Bernhard - Brandstötter) Published!



As of today, our Volume 2:B has been published. It covers SS officers from Bernhard to Brandstötter, totaling 2,016 officers, of whom we have successfully covered more than 66% with a photograph. A number of them feature a more detailed biography, while for others, biographical data is provided.

What you can find for each SS officer is the following: name, date and place of birth, units, SS and NSDAP numbers (if they exist), as well as both political and military awards. We have also listed who was married and whether they had any children. In cases where it is known, the date and place of death are also included.

This is not a book for the casual reader of World War II, but rather a reference material providing insight into just how many SS officers there were and where they served.

As sources, we have primarily utilized their SS officer files, RuSHA files, the NSDAP central card index (Zentral-Kartei), WaSt, and much more—all to obtain as comprehensive a picture as possible of each officer.

You can find the book on all Amazon platforms.

Index NSDAP Kartei


Since months I have been working with the NSDAP Kartei stored at NARA, there wasn´t a index avible where you can find names, so I have started to creat a Index, far from ready and this is a living document so it will change over time. 


If you wish to get the index , please send me an email on georg@axishistory.com and I will send you the pdf, I tried to upload it here, but it was impossible.

The officers of the SS & Waffen-SS Volume B:1

I wish I could write who a "Fanfar" sounds, but Today is the big day for us. A long painstaking work have finally came to it´s end and now is the first part of "Officers of the $$ and Waffen-$$" live on all Amazon platforms.
As we have written before, 2107 offficers listed, some of them with a more detailed biographie, you will find their name, birth, death (if known) ranks and when they got promoted, units (known) and from where and to, $$ Number (If they got one), NSDAP Number (if member) awards both military and political. The marriage status and how many kids they got (during the war). Around 1400 of them have also a photo attached to the name. We have also as a wish added several "Signatures" of the officer (Not all, but many)
At the end of the book you will also find some statistic, at first all those who got a $$-Zivilabzeichen in numerical order, how many from different countries who became officer. How many which was KIA during the war or got MIA. You will also find how many who got different awards such as RK, DKiG, EK I, EK II , etc.
We have set the price lower then the Volume A as it will in three different parts (B).
If you buy this it will mean a million to us and a proof that our work will continue. Volume B:2 is set to be realesed in the first half of next year. We have reached very long with that one, and what is left is detailed biograpgies (more) and photos. And then of course the chapter with the statistics.
The biggest news is that we have decided that in the future we will only publish those "Führerlisten" in english, we have also translated and published Volume A into english, also aviable on Amazon.
We also beside the aknowledge in the beginning of the book, once again send our most gratitude THANKS to all of you who have helped us in our line of work, without that this work would have been VERY difficult to finish.
As we wrote in the begining of this post, you find it on all Amazon platforms , the links didn´t work, but if you search for either my name "Georg Schwab" or "Officers of the SS and Waffen-SS" you will find the book at Amazon.
Best regards
