Caesar had his Praetorian Guard; Napoleon, the Old Guard. Adolf Hitler's equivalent was the Leibstandarte which grew from a small handpicked battalion into a complete Panzer Division twenty thousand strong.

Naturally the Leibstandarte received the best and most modern in equipment but they needed it. As the German position during World War Two deteriorated, the Division became a mobile "fire brigade" deployed wherever the fighting was fiercest in Europe. Famed for their bravery and skill, these SS men quickly and justifiably also gained a reputation for barbarism and subhuman brutality.

Expert comment and analysis from Dr Robin Clifton of Warwick University and Bob Carruthers, author and historian, combine with reconstructions and rare archive footage for an enthralling look at this savage arm of the Nazi machine.

Narrated by Graham McTavish.
