The SS was manned by volunteers...they were the Elite. I don't believe he was drafted into the SS-he chose the SS.

in the last two years of the war, the SS DID draft... not like in the US but conscription none the less.

The SS was manned by volunteersFinally the truth comes out. This lying, filthy Nazi has not changed one bit. He should be tried and executed.

The SS. started recieving Drafted replacements in early 1944, as losses mounted in the East...
Many New and Replacement SS Units were completely conscript, with regular ss cadres by late-44/early 45, which reduced thier effectiveness...
