A retired Marine Corps lieutenant colonel, Estes shows tremendous knowledge of combat and writes gripping battlefield prose. Two-thirds of the West European volunteers came from Spain and the Netherlands, yet Estes demonstrates wide range and covers Flemish, Walloon, French, Danish, and Norwegian combat units. Avoiding over-generalization, the author distinguishes carefully among the Danes and Flemings who fought competently with the SS-Wiking Division and later with Nordland, the courageous but poorly-armed Spanish, the ill-trained Dutch and French in Landstorm Nederland and SS-Charlemagne, and the Norwegians who after a first wave of enthusiasm held back altogether. Estes pulverizes the Nazi propaganda notion of a multinational European army defending 'Western civilization' against 'Bolshevism'. 606 $aMilitary service, Voluntary$zEurope 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$zGermany 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xCollaborationists 606 $aForeign enlistment$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aMilitary service, Voluntary 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xCollaborationists. 615 0$aForeign enlistment$xHistory 676 $a940.541343 700 $aEstes$b Kenneth W.$f1947-$0879194 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816852203321 996 $aA European anabasis$94127423 997 $aUNINA
