Standartenfuhrer Johannes Muhlenkamp: Kommandeur des SS-Panzerregiments 5 Wiking und seine Mdnner Book

This book is the history of a single Panzerührer and the men who served under him. Johannes Muhlenkamp rose to the rank of SS-Standartenfuhrer (Oberst) and held the Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves and other high honors that reflected not only his achievements but also those of his men.

To the soldiers under his command he was a figurehead who was often to be found standing over his tank, his face covered in dust, leading them into battle. He always led from the front.

Profusely illustrated with hundreds of previously unseen photographs, documents and maps and assembled with the assistance of veterans and Mühlenkamp's family, this book is an exceptional document in words and images of the life of a single panzer regiment of the famous Wiking division.
