This is the first systematic pan-European study of the hundreds of thousands
of  non-Germans who fought—either voluntarily or under different kinds of
pressures—for the Waffen-SS (or auxiliary police formations operating in the
occupied East). Building on the findings of regional studies by other scholars—
many of them included in this volume—The Waffen-SS aims to arrive at a fuller
picture of those non-German citizens (from Eastern as well as Western Europe)
who served under the SS flag. Where did the non-Germans in the SS come from
(socially, geographically, and culturally)? What motivated them? What do we know
about the practicalities of international collaboration in war and genocide, in terms
of everyday life, language, and ideological training? Did a common transnational
identity emerge as a result of shared ideological convictions or experiences of
extreme violence? In order to address these questions (and others), The Waffen-SS
adopts an approach that does justice to the complexity of the subject, adding a more
nuanced, empirically sound understanding of collaboration in Europe during
World War II, while also seeking to push the methodological boundaries of the
historiographical genre of perpetrator studies by adopting a transnational approach.
