Richard Landwehr

__NOTOC__ Richard Landwehr is the author of numerous books about the Waffen-SS, particularly the foreign volunteers, providing accounts of these men, their formations, and their battles. He has been producing the magazine ''Siegrunen'' on the same topic for over 30 years.

In his 1997 book 'Revolutionary Armies in the Modern Era: A Revisionist Approach' (described as "too flawed to be recommended as an undergraduate text"), historian S.P. MacKenzie describes Landwehr as an "extreme admirer [from] the fringes of the far-right." MacKenzie connects Landwehr with the contemporary Waffen-SS historical revisionism. Commenting on this trend, Mackenzie writes that "as older generation of Waffen-SS scribes has died off, a new, post-war cadre of writers has done much to perpetuate the image of the force as a revolutionary European army" and includes Landwehr in this group.
