"The Road to Slaughter" by Vincent Hunt is a well-written book that explores the Latvian 15th SS Division's actions in Pomerania from January to March 1945. The author uses first-hand accounts from veterans, interviews, diaries, letters, and memoirs to provide a comprehensive and well-rounded perspective. Hunt also examines the issue of blame and the complexities surrounding the Latvian SS, acknowledging the roots of the organization in the Holocaust but emphasizing that the soldiers he interviewed were victims rather than Nazis. Overall, the book adds to the scholarship on the SS and the Eastern Front. [Extracted from the article] |
