Synopsis

In the early 1920s, a tiny group was formed within the SA to serve as Hitlers personal bodyguard.

Originally labelled the Stosstruppe Adolf Hitler, they later became known as the SS – Schutz Staffeln, or protection squads. From these humble beginnings, the SS rose to a nominal strength of 38 divisions of over 800,000 men by 1945, representing a sizeable portion of Germanys land forces and more importantly a quarter of her tank forces and a third of her mechanised infantry.

Martin Windrow provides a splendid in-depth review of the history, uniforms and insignia of the infamous Waffen-SS.
