WW2: ''Waffen SS'' (Intense Combat Footage)

We all know the SS have a dark history for many reasons throughout world war 2, But they were still extremely fierce and well-experienced fighters winning Germany many battles, In this video, it is mainly footage of the ''Hitlerjugend'' ''Das Reich'' ''Polizei'' ''Totenkopf'' (3rd SS Panzer Division Totenkopf)

So I took the time to make a video of the best possible clips I could source of the ''SS'' Fighting throughout the war, I left out many of the twisted divisions such as ''SS Einsatzgruppe'' we all know of the SS as being murder squads but many were just young fighters, that were very brainwashed by Hitler's regime and happily died for Germany, Such as the Hitlerjudend.

All footage is for historical purposes only!

SS, abbreviation of Schutzstaffel (German: “Protective Echelon”), the black-uniformed elite corps and self-described “political soldiers” of the Nazi Party. Founded by Adolf Hitler in April 1925 as a small personal bodyguard, the SS grew with the success of the Nazi movement and, gathering immense police and military powers, became virtually a state within a state.
From 1929 until its dissolution in 1945, the SS was headed by Heinrich Himmler, who built up the SS from fewer than 300 members to more than 50,000 by the time the Nazis came to power in 1933. Himmler, a racist fanatic, screened applicants for their supposed physical perfection and racial purity but recruited members from all ranks of German society. With their sleek black uniforms and special insignia (lightninglike runic S’s, death’s head badges, and silver daggers), the men of the SS felt superior to the brawling brown-shirted Storm Troopers of the SA, to which initially they were nominally subordinate.

Thank you to critical past for the 4k colourized footage of the ''SS panzergrenadier'' division.
