Elite Guard [Schutzstaffel (SS)]
Without a doubt, the SS was the most
feared, despised, and infamous organization of the Third Reich.
The SS was formed in 1925 as a small subunit of the SA with
the mission of serving as the Fuhrer's personal bodyguard.
The SS remained insignificant until 1929, when it was placed
under the command of of Heirich Himmler, the SS became independent,
gained control over the national police forces and expanded
into a massive organization. Members of the SS were picked
for their mental and physical adeptness and were recognized
as the "elite" within the Nazi Party. A member had
to have finished his twenty-first year and undergone a long
probationary period of eighteen months. During this period,
the candidate was tested rigidly to observe how well he lived
up to the tests of faith, honor, and and unconditional obedience.
There were two distinct branches of the SS: the black uniformed
Allgemeine (General) SS and the Waffen (Military)
SS. For more information click

"Collecting the Edged Weapons of the Third Reich",
or some of the other reference books that we offer.
