before you post some worthless commenets, learn history
You must be looking at a mirror .
Even a common person or a 5 years old kid have access of what the Wafenn SS become during WW2 history by using wikipedia .
And if your trying to offend me,youre just wasting your time with the short knowledge you have ,but that i already saw on your first troll comment.
Kurt Jager ,by youre logic the British,Russian armies never had elite forces since they suffered several huge defeats.
We are talking about humans and the meaning of élite doesn't mean they are invictus (even if the German army had that prestige and fame since 18 century) or immortals ,only if a new dictionary have been released.
You have to know and deep more the knowledge of things.
My statement is correct at certain point,but,yes they were first created to be the politic party "police" SA,then more guard of honour like royal guard in ancient eras but they were rapidly transformed as the élite army of the German Army.
"By the end of the war, non-Germans made up approximately 60 percent of the Waffen-SS."
So again the idea of being made of fanatics ,its just a pure pathetic comment.
And even before the war begun , in all the world ,the idea of a nation being superior than is neighbor country,a old enemy,a great enemy, its part of the Human kind Warfare history since the Neanderthal times.
The "fanaticism" of being superior than others is the main cause of all wars.
Even today we deal with that "fanaticism" on all aspects of our lifes,on work,with friends,with our wifes,fathers, on sport and so on .But since we tend to learn sometimes, that "fanaticism" of being superior or better than the next one have been transformed to a civilized aspect without the wars.But lets see for how long.
I don´t think i would had to have write all i have till now as its a common knowledge at least for me and I always assume that it was a common knowledge from people that like this era .
Now of course ,in all wars of human kind, the defeated are always humiliated and have to accept the conditions,stories and history from the winners.
Thats what i know by reading several books written from those times.
