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! HITLER'S FORGOTTEN NAZIS provides a powerfully insightful new look at the ferocious “foreign fighters” who swelled the ranks of the SS. Hailing from every part of German-occupied Europe, not to mention North Africa, the Middle East and India, this group eventually numbered upwards of 535,000 men. What motivated these soldiers to place their lives on the line for a racist Reich that despised them? And how did they interact with the ethnically “pure” officers and troops of the Wehrmacht? This startling 4-DVD Collector's Video-Book provides the answers to these and many other questions, shedding light on a long-suppressed aspect of the Nazi war machine! The information-packed 24-page booklet included, explores the complex relationship between the Nazis and the people of all nationalities who fell under the Reich's sway.

The Waffen SS as We've NEVER Seen it!!!
The story of Hitler's feared and admired Waffen SS legions in World War II is a chilling and fascinating tale. Their rise to elite status and their ultimate fall and fate is well worth anyone's money. There is also a neat booklet description with the video!

A good informative dvd set however some of the sound is too high to hear the narrative clearly. The colorized film has been well done. Corey

Not as advertised
Huge fan of all WWII documentaries but this isn't one of them. Advertised as a DVD about forgotten Nazis and yet the first 2 discs are nothing about that. The first disc is all about how the SS went thru multiple 'name changes' and the various 'purging' of other leaders Hitler eliminated to consolidate his power. That's all fine and I enjoyed the narration but how is that any information about Norway, or Polish soldiers joining the SS after they were defeated by the Germans? The packaging of this DVD set is attractive and it has a booklet inside, it just doesn't say much about the foreign troops from conquered countries who joined Hitler's cause so I don't recommend it.

Don't waste your time or money
This DVD is not even close to what it advertises to be. The packaging would lead one to believe your about to learn about those groups who sided with the Nazi war machine, not so. They are barely mentioned. I was hoping for something like IBM and the Holocaust by Edwin Black or the Nazi Doctors by Robert Lifton. Both works that expose collaboration with the Nazis by groups you'd least expect. Weighed in the balance and found wanting.

Good material, mediocre presentation
There is a lot of decent information presented, but the narration is just a step above being a monotone. I suspect the narrator never heard many of the German names for places as he does not even attempt to pronounce them correctly. The host segments are equally lifeless and lackluster, and one even looks off camera to confirm something with someone else as he speaks. This looks more like a college project than a professional production, but I have come to expect that from Madacy.
