[QUOTE="cjjtulsa, post: 1578283, member: 6146"] Reading comprehension: Yes, the SS [I]for the most part [/I] was an all-volunteer, military arm of the Nazi Party. Only some of the SS had any involvement with the camps. There were Wehrmacht soldiers who were transferred to the SS; there were Hitler Youth that were absorbed into the SS. For the most part, most Waffen-SS troops had nothing to do with the KZ camps, though some were rotated into guard duty there. As I said, it's complex, and painting the whole thing with a broad brush is just weak ********. You do realize the SS - to many young Germans - was the elite forces. So signing up with them was to some of them, similar to being in the Airborne or other elite units of our military. I could go on and on, but I don't have time. I can revisit this later. [/QUOTE]
