The SS, they were a rank in the Nazis I believe...

 

[rudder]

I don't know but I mowed a few down while playing day of defeat.

yeah I was just gonna say, isn't that one of the NAZI characters you can play on DoD? I don't know what their position was in the 3rd Reich, but they were some kind of german soldier. Probably SS

 

[Passions]

SS Nazi's.

They were Hitler's elite footsoldiers, IIRC. They wore blue uniforms, and if you killed one, it dropped a machine gun, which was much better then that pistol or the knife

They were a separate branch of the Nazi party as well as part of the German military machine. They got all the best weapons and supplies which is why they were bad ass on the battlefield...they also were the fsckers who ran the death camps as well as rounded up "undesirables" and sent them there.

Basically they were just the most evil military unit you could ever run into.
