Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Text in English and Finnish. 160 pp. Some 1400 Finnish volunteers served in Waffen-SS in SS-Division "Wiking" during 1941-43. These men were simultaneously one of the first 74-volunteers to come from a country not occupied by Germany during WW II. This is the first book dealing with uniforms and insignia of a Waffen-SS volunteer unit in battalion level. The book focuses specifically on uniforms and insignia of Finnish volunteer unit, but deals with the general development and history of Waffen-SS uniforms and insignia as well. The book contains full colour photos showing original uniforms and equipment worn. These are supported by previously unpublished period photos and close-ups of original insignia.
