The SS was truly the most frightening of the frightening. The regular German Army was fairly professional in its conduct in WW 2. Even as Germany was slowly destroyed and the Army was pushed back into Berlin by the Russians, they didn't fully panic.

The SS was another animal, until late in the war when they relaxed the member rules, they were considered to be the race pure best of the German people, they were fanatical, ruthless and completely loyal, they weren't allowed to integrate or mix with the regular German Army. They started fairly small with only 3 divisions, but they eventually grew to 40 divisions and opened their ranks to fanatical Nazi's from conquered nations.

Most of the German War Crimes were committed by the SS, including the mass executions of Canadians by Kurt Meyer.

While the commonly accepted plan was that the SS was to become a racial based police force after the war ended. The more sinister plan was built around Hitler's lack of trust in his own army.

If the German's had won WW2, the SS would have turned on the army, purged the officers ranks, liquidated any non pure gernams in the Army and absorbed the rest into their ranks.
