A. The Waffen SS were simply fanatical politically brainwashed hand picked elite shock troops. The Waffen SS were never part of the regular German Army (Wehrmacht). The Waffen SS were carefully selected Nazi fanatics (Waffen SS also had 'tattooed' numbers on their arms which was a standard practice in Nazi Germany) and received elite fanatical training, whether it was to fight or administer the death camps. Because the Waffen SS were elite, they received better training and better equipment to do their jobs.

What do you think of the Waffen SS?
Q. I think they are the coolest looking out of any other soldiers. They have the best looking Uniforms. I don't want to hear about you not liking them for what ever they did. I frankly don't care what they did. I want to know what you think of them as soldiers.

Where all Waffen SS soldiers charged with war crimes?
Q. My knowledge on this specific subject is very little. That is why I am asking this question }:-) but I'm guessing that is was because of their strong involvement in the concentration camps but wasn't that the job of the Gestapo? Were the Gestapo part of the SS? If the reason they were charged with war crimes was because of their involvement in concentration camps, were those soldiers who just served as combat troops charged? I know that the Allies captured every German with a bloodline tattoo but what if they were just professional soldiers like Heinz Guderian? Do you believe that the way they were charged was sloppy?

A. The Waffen SS were elite front-line troops. Most Waffen SS soldiers were just that, soldiers. The SS were the internal security force in Germany ultimately responsible for setting up and running much of the "final solution" infrastructure. That is where the majority of your war criminals are going to be found. The Gestapo was the German secret police.

A.

(=to give death and to receive death) only-solorose : Just out of curiosity, how would you call it? (since you said "as you call it"

Asked by SITTING BULL MAN - Sat Oct 2 19:14:17 2010 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I'm not 100% on this but I was under the impression Hitler's plans for Britain were to have it as a puppet state, rather than a subjugated nation (I'm basing this on his plans to restore Edward VIII to the throne), so I doubt there would be an official Waffen SS group, but there most likely would have been something similar. But I'd take this with a pinch of salt as I'm no historian. Hopefully someone in the know will reply to this, because I'm kind of interested myself, now!

A. Very hard to generalize, especially about Waffen-SS because there was wide disparity between quality of units, especially later in war. Not much to choose then between paratroopers and first 10-12 W-SS divisions, but I would choose Fallschirmjaeger.

A. I think so. Sure the Waffen SS was a formally recognized government police force, but you would have to be kidding yourself to say that Blackwater is not completely tied to the government. No, there is no holocaust occurring in America right now, but that doesn't mean that the intentionality of Blackwater isn't a sinister as the SS.

Asked by Buss W@nkers! - Thu Jun 10 22:43:40 2010 - - 12 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The SS was a wide ranging organization that had many branches and divisionsa. The Waffen SS was the combat part of the SS, and were used as front line combat units in standard military operations; their training and level of equipment meant they wouldn't be wasted on things standard security units could deal with.It also made made them amongst the effective troops in the whole Nazi military. it should be noted,though, that many Waffen SS units were recuited from non German nationals, and so the 29th Waffen SS Grenadier division (1st Russian) for example, did not receive quite the same level of training and equipment as, for example, 1st SS Leibstandarte panzer division Some Waffen SS took part in suppressing the Warsaw uprising of 1944, [cont.]
