Ok for those who are into military stuff, one needs to know
putting aside the armed divisions associated with Hitler Nazi
Party , they are the best modern troops the world ever known.
They were the ideological and military shock troops of europe
that mainly served as the best defense against stalin communist
onslaught during WWII.Mainly serving as voluntary troops and
surprisingly more than half of the 1 million of them are non german
europeans fighting for a united europe.
It was on the front lines that the results of the SS physical
training could really be noticed. An SS officer had the same
rigorous training as the soldiers. Those officers and privates
competed in the same sports events, and only the best man won,
regardless of rank. This created a real brotherhood which literally
energized the entire Waffen SS. Only the teamwork of free men,
bonded by a higher ideal could unite Europe. Look at the Common
Market of today. It is a failure. There is no unifying ideal.
Everything is based on haggling over the price of tomatoes, steel,
coal, or booze. Fruitful unions are based on something a little
higher than that.
The relationship of equality and mutual respect between soldiers
and officers was always present. Half of all division commanders
were killed in action. Half! There is not an army in the world
where this happened. The SS officer always led his troops to
battle. SS soldiers were not sent to slaughter by
behind-the-line officers, they followed their officers with
passionate loyalty. Every SS commander knew and taught all his men,
and often received unexpected answers.
Lemme guess....
Next you're gonna say that we should train our soldiers in the
mould of the Waffen-SS in order to successfully resist the
onslaught of our alien overlords in 2012, rite?
