Too Short.
The only reason I rated this book a 3 was because the book was too short. But, besides from that the book was educational.

Well written and insightful.
Well written and insightful. I had to re-read a few of the paragraphs describing the atrocities because I initially couldn't fathom that a human being could be so cruel to another human being. The author is correct that we need to know what happened to during the holocaust so it will not be repeated.

Could Of Had More Detail
I rate this book 4 stars instead of five becaue it is too short. I think the book is too short because Irma Grese is such a cruel but interesting person, and I wanted to learn more. I think that if the book had been longer the author could add more gruesome but interesting facts into it. Overall a very good and interesting read!

This e-book attempts to explain monsters such as Irma Grese
Kindle e-book, Kindle Unlimited subscriptionThe book supplied a great deal of information obtained from the World Wide Web about female concentration camp guards and the Holocaust. I felt that the e-book could have been organized better to eliminate redundancy. For example, discuss each female SS guard in one section of the book, and do not discuss Irma Grese or the others in for five different areas of the book. Next either discuss the concentration camps next or the Holocaust but again keep everything in one area. When discussing the Holocaust explain how the Nazis used various methods of execution of their prisoners - the shooting of prisoners and the gassing trucks that were used execution. The author attempted to explain why the female SS guards became evil or at least could do evil things. I would have preferred that the author added more scholarly references to his reference list. I also wished that the author had footnoted or listed references in the text so that I could check some of his statements. I do not remember reading in another book that Irma Grese was bisexual. All in all the author did an okay job. I read this e-book for additional information about Irma Grese and similar monsters.

Great
This book shared many stories related to Waffen SS. I am surprised at Austrian Waffen SS Lieutenant Hermann Maringgle’s certified records of taking part in eighty four hand to hand battles. Among those The Graveyard of the Waffen SS is notable and remembered to many German soldiers. You will know the story of becoming distinguished and being awarded the Gold German Cross through this book.Besides this, you could know about a Tank Destroyer named Vinzenz Kaiser who performed the most dangerous tasks without care or concern for his own life.

A very dull read.
Dull and boring. I wouldn't waste five minutes reading this junk. Descriptions are vague and there doesn't seem to be much thought put into the writing. Far better books available if this type of subject holds your interest.

Under researched.
This book, given that it uses solely internet sources and has no citations throughout, is not a proper historical work. There is no original research from archives which leads me to question their legitimacy. It doesn’t send a good signal when you can’t locate information on the authors either. Furthermore, it perpetuates popular historical stories that are outdated. A better, more educational, historical work is “The Beautiful Beast: the life and crimes of Irma Grese,” which was written 20-30 years ago. Historical research has made strides to provide a better over view of female concentration camp guards that don’t over-sensationalize their brutality. For an updated history of female perpetrators.It would serve readers better to check out historian Wendy Lowers “Hitlers Furies” and historian Elissa Mailänder’s research. I might also add, you can’t provide a “complete picture” of Nazi atrocities with one examination of a small portion of the genocidal state.
