In this issue we start with an article dedicated to the use of the SS Totenkopf division on the Western Front in the spring of 1940. This is followed by the history of the bersaglieri (light infantry) units of the Republic Sociale Italiana, in particular ofthe 'Italia' division, with many unpublished photos. The biography of this issue is dedicated to one of the most important characters in the history of Waffen‐SS, Paul Hausser. We continue with the second part of the article dedicated to the recruitment of the Cossacks into the German armed forces and finally we close with an interesting article dedicated to the Panzerfaust, the deadly German anti‐tank weapon.
