The naval fusiliers brigade distinguished itself during these particularly bloody engagements. They thus became the...

In the spring of 1940, when Germany invaded Denmark, Norway, then the Netherlands and Belgium, the Waffen-SS opened recruiting offices there, with mixed — if not mediocre — results. But when the Third Reich launched its war against the Soviet Union, the "crusade against Bolshevism" rekindled enthusiasm for a recruitment drive that had stagnated. Thus,...

On that Saturday, 24 August 1346, night had long since fallen. It was nearly midnight. A small band of horsemen arrived before the château de Labroye, 5 km north-east of Crécy-en-Ponthieu. The gate was closed, the drawbridge raised — fugitives from the French army had already warned the garrison that the battle was lost and the English victorious. The...
