While Hitler was hiding in the catacombs of Berlin in 1945, he made one final appeal to SS General Steiner. It was hoped that the well-known SS general, formerly commander of the Wiking Division and by then promoted to armygroup general, would break through the Russian encirclement and liberate Berlin.
Steiner, however, had no intention of sacrificing his men in one final, senseless battle. Instead, he tried to free his own troops from encirclement.
This book outlines the remarkable life of a highly driven SS general who introduced new techniques into the army, fought major battles for the Nazi regime, but ultimately chose his men over ideology.
A new perspective on General Felix Steiner.
