SS
SS (
Schutzstaffeln, guards unit) Chief paramilitary force of Nazi Germany. It was originally Adolf
Hitler's bodyguard but expanded after 1928, under Heinrich
Himmler, to become the Nazi Party militia and internal police force. With its distinctive black uniform, the SS controlled the
Gestapo and the
SD (security organization). It ran the
concentration camps and, from 1936, controlled the police. After the outbreak of war it formed its own fighting units, notorious for their ferocity, known as the Waffen SS.
