Caesar had his Pretorian Guard, and Napoleon, the Old Guard. Hitler's equivalent was the Leibstandarte, which grew from a small hand picked battalion, to a complete Panzer Division twenty thousand strong. Naturally, the Leibstandarte received the best and most modern equipment, but they needed it. As the situation deteriorated, the division became a mobile fire brigade, deployed wherever the fighting was fiercest in Russia and France. Even the end of the war brought no respite, as the survivors marched into captivity from which few returned.This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.

 A very informative and enjoyable documentary but beware! July 20, 2007

Thorough and informative documentary on the development of the Waffen SS Leibstandarte SS-Adolf Hitler division. However, this documentary is in DVD-R format...in other words, it's a burned copy, not a professionally pressed one...a pretty steep price for a such a cheaply produced DVD.
 Very good. It covers all aspects of the powerful Leibstandarte January 31, 2007

This documentary starts with the creation of the Leibstandarte as a personal guard of Hitler and goes through its evolution to a full panzer division in the late years of the war. There are references to the personalities of the division (like the infamous commanders "Sepp" Dietrich, Kurt "Panzer" Meyer and Jochen Peiper), the battles it fought, the selection criteria, the bravery of its men but also the crimes committed by some of them in both the Eastern and the Western Fronts. There are many scenes that are really rare, although there are many others commonly seen before and a little bit repeated in this film.
