This factual account of German war crimes of World War II is a formidable indictment of Nazi brutality and of the inhuman organisation which so terrorised occupied Europe and murdered at least 12-000-000 civilians. Drawing on documentary evidence submitted to the Nuremberg trials and brilliantly written by an expert intimately connected to the prosecution of war criminals- this searing condemnation of the Third Reichs crimes is factual- objective and unstinting in its efforts to expose the truth behind real or alleged atrocities. It examines Hitlers instruments of tyranny - the SS- Gestapo and Army - and repression; German crimes against prisoners of war; outrages committed on the high seas; crimes against civilian populations; the mass use of slave labour; the concentration camps; and the Final Solution of the Jewish question. The Scourge of the Swastika remains the most concise and readable study of the disturbing subject of Nazi crimes-
