Otto Baum Konstantinos Laios

The first book to be written about Otto Baum, one of the finest graduates of the SS Officer School system, Fighting on all fronts, from the freezing Demyansk cauldron to the desperate rearguard actions of Falaise, Baum proved to be one of the most accomplished officers of the Waffen SS. He commanded several of the most well-known formations, and was highly decorated for his service. This detailed biography is well-accompanied by over sixty photographs (many previously unpublished) and period documents. It is hoped that this biography will allow the reader to be transported to this turbulent time period of Europe’s history.
