Jens is 57 years old and lives in Aarhus, Jutland. He has four grown-up children and a grandchild. He had a family member who joined the Waffen-SS in 1943 and was reported missing in Russia in 1944. For the past 20 years, he has spent a lot of his spare time finding out what happened to him and other Danes who still were missing from the Second World War. As a result, he has met approximately 20 of the old volunteers. Lars is 35 years old and lives in Randers, Jutland with his wife and five-year-old son. He works as a bricklayer and his leisure interest is the Second World War - especially the Danes who fought for the Germans. He has known approximately 30 of the volunteers who fought for Adolf Hitler in the SS, but most of them have passed away due to old age. He also spends a lot of his time at the Danish Archives, where he searches for information covering the period 1940-1945.
""This huge illustrated book tells the story of Danish volunteers to the Waffen SS, and explodes [a myth] I had believed, that the Danes were our allies during WWII. Fantastic candid photographs that put wartime Danes in an altogether different light.""-- ""Books Monthly""
