Overview: They were the soldiers sworn by an oath of loyalty to follow Hitler into a maelstrom of genocidal barbarity. They were the elite of the German military in World War Two. They were men who committed some of the worst atrocities seen in the inferno of armed conflict. They were the Waffen-SS.
On June 22, 1941, before dawn, German troops crossed the Russian border. It was the beginning of Hitler’s Operation Barbarossa, one of the most brutal campaigns in the history of warfare. The Barbarossa campaign included some of the greatest episodes in military history: it also allowed Hitler’s ideological warriors, the Waffen-SS, to give full vent to their ideological way of war. It provided the killing ground in which the some of the worst atrocities seen by humanity were committed. It was the furnace in which the Waffen-SS would forge it’s almost myth like fighting reputation.
