Schutzstaffel

The Schutzstaffel (SS), German for Protection Squadron, was a paramilitary that answered directly to Adolf Hitler and Heinrich Himmler, the two most powerful figures in the Nazi Party. The SS was the primary source of Nazi Germany's terrorism and atrocities during World War II and the Holocaust.

Uniforms
Most SS officers were outfitted with solid black peaked caps (or steel helmets) and tunics that made their red swatiska arm bands stick out.
