Following the success of L'Ordre Noir, Allgemeine-SS 1925-1945, an illustrated encyclopedia dedicated to the "total society" project envisioned by the SS, we wished to explore the subject further with this new volume.

Jean-François Pelletier and Georges Bernage each authored a section of this work. One presents a detailed study of the Order's edged weapons, accompanied by a rich and previously unpublished iconography. The other, in the form of an illustrated dictionary, compiles documents and a critical reading of the "cultural" and symbolic dimensions of the main characteristics of the Black Order. Little-known aspects are revealed: archaeology, publishing houses and their authors — some of whom achieved very large print runs — the mysterious Ahnenerbe, its cultural and scientific work, its expedition to Tibet, and many other lesser-known facets of a "lost continent".

This new volume is an indispensable companion to the previous one, not to be missed for discovering and understanding aspects of the Hitler era that remain little known.

Often these were simply open tourers fitted with machine gun mountings, like...
