Dutch Volunteers in SS-Divisions

After reading the books Van Leningrad Tot Berlijn by Perry Pierik and Wiking - Een Nederlandse SS-er Aan Het Oostfront by Henk Kistemaker I've decided to start working on a new series which will depict scenes from both books. The scenarios will be mixed infantry and armoured ones. I'll keep you posted on the progress.


Both authors write about the very controversial theme of Dutch collaboration with the Germans during the Second World War. Pierik gives a thorough study of the backgrounds of the Dutch volunteer forces under German command whereas Kistemaker writes about his own live as a volunteer in the SS Division Viking. For history buffs both works are commendable. It's a pity though that both books are only available in Dutch.
