The Waffen-SS (”Armed SS”) was the combat branch of the Nazi Party’s paramilitary Schutzstaffel (SS). Formed by Hitler as an independent force under Heinrich Himmler, it evolved from 1930s bodyguard units into a massive military organization. It was deeply involved in war crimes and atrocities during World War II.
