ISBN No: 3-921242-57 Volume 2. Year of print 1987. Author Karl Ullrich (1 December 1910 – 8 May 1996) was a high-ranking member in the Waffen SS of Nazi German during World War II, who was the last commander of the SS Division "Wiking" and a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves. Following the war, he authored this apologist account of the SS Division Totenkopf. Born in 1910, Ullrich joined the SS-Verfügungstruppe, in 1934. He transferred to the SS Division Totenkopf on the Eastern Front in 1941. He was given command of the SS Division Wiking for the final battles of the war in Hungary. A short time before the end of the war he was promoted to Oberführer and he surrendered to the Red Army in May 1945. After the war, Ullrich wrote this book "Like a Cliff in the Ocean: A History of the 3. SS-Panzer-Division Totenkopf" in which he claimed that only a single member of the Totenkopf division ever committed a war crime. In reality, the division committed war crimes in Poland and France.
