Siegrunen 79: Vol. XIII No. 5, Whole Number 79, Summer 2007

Merriam Press Siegrunen Journal 79. Second Edition (March 2012). In 2007, Siegrunen, the Historical Journal of the Waffen-SS, entered is 31st year of publication. This is Siegrunen's first larger format book-length issue. A few â€œbookâ€ issues were published some years ago, but this format is much better. This new format for Siegrunen will provide more content, including some revised reprints from out-of-print back issues. Siegrunen grew out of editor Richard Landwehr's inability to locate any adequate amount of published, accurate material on the Waffen-SS and in particular, the non-German volunteer units, so he took a chance that by publishing a journal he might attract more sources of â€œgoodâ€ information, and it worked. He also strongly felt that the â€œvolunteersâ€ were being given the shaft by the mainstream media, if they were ever mentioned at all. The â€œestablishmentâ€ defamation was, and remains, staggering. It did not take him very long to discover that these were not criminals, but for the most part, were above-average individuals, highly motivated, skilled and courageous who happened to belong to an elite military organization (the Waffen-SS), that was so far ahead of its time that we still have not yet caught up to it.
