Summary The IV SS-Panzerkorps was activated for the defense of Warsaw in late July 1944. Its primary units, 3. SS-Panzer Division (Totenkopf) and 5. SS-Panzer Division (Wiking) spent the last ten months of the war in almost continuous combat. In August 1944 the Korps fought east of the river Vistula. Herbert Otto Gille's IV SS-Panzerkorps was renowned for its tenacity, high morale and, above all, its lethality, whether conducting a hard-hitting counterattack or a stubborn defense in situations where its divisions were hopelessly outnumbered. Douglas Nash is a West Point Class graduate and retired U.S. Army Colonel with 32 years of active duty service in places like Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan, Germany, Cuba, and Uzbekistan. We are delighted that he is joining us on WW2TV. Douglas is the author of several books focussing on German units in the later part of the war.
