Feared, superbly well trained and ruthlessly dedicated to realizing their Fuhrer's monstrous dream of German world superiority, the Waffen-SS looms large in military histories of the 20th century's most harrowing conflict. However, what most of these accounts fail to mention is that, by war's end, more than half of these elite commandos were not even German. This film provides a powerfully insightful new look at the ferocious 'foreign fighters' who swelled the ranks of the SS.
