The Schutzstaffel (SS) was a major paramilitary organization under Adolf  Hitler  in Nazi Germany, and later throughout German-occupied Europe  during World War II. It began with a small guard unit known as the  Saal-Schutz (“Hall Security”) made up of NSDAP volunteers to provide  security for party meetings in Munich. In 1925, Heinrich Himmler joined  the unit, which had by then been reformed and given its final name.  Under his direction (1929–45) it grew from a small paramilitary  formation during the Weimar Republic to one of the most powerful  organizations in Nazi Germany. From 1929 until the regime’s collapse in  1945, the SS was the foremost agency of security, surveillance, and  terror within Germany and German-occupied Europe. The two main  constituent groups were the Allgemeine SS (General SS) and Waffen-SS  (Armed SS). The Allgemeine SS was responsible for enforcing the racial  policy of Nazi Germany and general policing, whereas the Waffen-SS  consisted of combat units within Nazi Germany’s military. A third  component of the SS, the SS-Totenkopfverbände (SS-TV), ran the  concentration camps and extermination camps. Additional subdivisions of  the SS included the Gestapo and the Sicherheitsdienst (SD)  organizations. They were tasked with the detection of actual or  potential enemies of the Nazi state, the neutralization of any  opposition, policing the German people for their commitment to Nazi  ideology, and providing domestic and foreign intelligence.    Free shipping ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD & I don’t charge PayPal fees like some of the other guys!
