SS-Sturmbannführer Ernst August Krag: Holder of the Knights Cross with Oak Leaves (Tankmaster): Holder of the Knight’s Cross with Oak ... SS-Panzer-Aufklärungsabteilung 2 “Das Reich” Paperback – 9 Sept. 2004

A clear and concise history of the man and his career with lots of photographs that are rarely seen. Well worth the money

As ever, Mark Yerger presents a well researched, highly readable and thoughtful work about an outstanding WW II subject. This is an honest account of the career of one of the Waffen SS's lesser know figures; illustrated by numerous photos and presented without the all too common, knee-jerk, anti-German "victor's bias" which is so prevalent among works which purport to "tell the real story" behind the War and those who fought it. Reminds both German and American readers of the terrible personal price which was paid by Krag and so many other German soldiers and their families after the war; a price levied simply because they served their country honorably and that country happened to be defeated. Happily recommended to anyone who likes history reported accurately.

Excellent source of information

Lots of nice full page photos, text is of minimal use beyond a historical account of where and when Krag served during the war.

A total of 64 pages. One half of it is in German, the other half in English. It does not provide any biographical information as to his birth and early years; i.e. why did he join the SS. There are a LOT, a LOT or pictures for the 64 pictures. I would recommend not purchasing what is essentially a pamphlet of very little information. John
