The invaders are coming; the Posleen, a seemingly unstoppable horde who have conquered one star system after another, literally feeding on their conquests. Earth's dubious allies, the Darhel, have given the humans a number of highly-advanced technological devices, including a process for rejuvenating the aged, including trained and proven soldiers who otherwise would be too old to fight. Rejuvenation may give a critical edge, since to survive, the Earth must use every resource at hand. Every resource . . .

In the dark days after the initial Posleen attack, but before the primary invasion, the Chancellor of Germany faces a critical decision. Over the years, with military cutbacks, the store of experienced German military personnel had simply dwindled. After the destruction of Northern Virginia, he realized that it was necessary to tap the one group he had sworn never, ever, to recall: the few remaining survivors of the Waffen SS. Has he made a devil¿s bargain, or is this a chance for the reviled SS at last to fight the good fight? And, perhaps, gain redemption?

Watch On the Rhine, a new chapter in the New York Times best-selling Posleen War saga, is perhaps the most unbiased, and brutal, look at the inner workings of the Waffen SS in history. Meticulously researched, it explores all that was good, and evil, about the most infamous military force in history using the backdrop of the Posleen invasion as a canvas.

I read other reviews warning about this book, the context and contents, yet decided to try it as I deeply enjoy the series and the unique plot lines in the series. I found this book excellent, action based balanced with character development, military scifi, touching at times, but ... Yes, it has difficult to hear historical war crimes and inhumane treatment of our own species. however i think it was handled well, and neither favored one side or other but handled horrors of world war 2 in Europe with factual aspect which then showed the impact then plus over time ... all while within the larger stage of human fight for survival against an alien species, causing a need for all experienced soldiers and the very difficult decision to select some of them for rejuvination and use. I can see how some may not like this book; however, consider giving it a try. the author's afterward states clearly the intent was to shock and cause discussion. i myself am not normally emotionally moved by many terribly sad parts or any narrative; however, as a parent I was touched by (trying hard to avoid spoilers) a specific parent's delima for young children and then the afterward portion. Compliments and thanks to all involved, for a really good story plus one more book in an excellent longer series.

excellent, touching but yes has difficult to hear
