TWILIGHT OF THE GODS: A Swedish Waffen-SS Volunteer’s
Experiences with the 11th SS-Panzergrenadier Division
“Nordland”, Eastern Front 1944-45
Erik Wallin, Thorolf Hillblad (Editor)
Few new personal accounts by Waffen-SS soldiers appear in English;
even fewer originate from the multitude of non-German European
volunteers who formed such an important proportion of this service's
manpower. Twilight of the Gods was originally written in Swedish, and
published in Buenos Aires shortly after the end of WWII. Erik Wallin, a
Swedish soldier who volunteered for service with the Waffen-SS, and
participated in the climactic battles on the Eastern Front during late
1944 and 1945, later telling his story to this book's editor, Thorolf
Hillblad.
Wallin served with the Panzer Reconnaissance Battalion, 11th SS-
Panzergrenadier Division Nordland, a unit composed mainly of non-
German volunteers, including Danes, Norwegians, and Swedes. The
division enjoyed a high reputation for its combat capability, and was
always at the focal points of the fighting on the Eastern Front in the last
year of the war. During this period it saw combat in the Baltic, in
Pomerania, on the Oder, and finally in defence of Berlin, where it was
destroyed.
Erik Wallin served with his unit in all of these locations, and provides the
reader with a fascinating glimpse into these final battles. The book is
written with a 'no holds barred' approach which will captivate, excite and
maybe even shock the reader - his recollections do not evade the
brutality of fighting against the advancing Red Army. Twilight of the
Gods is destined to become a classic memoir of the Second World War.
Hardcover, 6 x 9, 144 pages, 16 photos.
