Schutzstaffel (Third Reich)

The Schutzstaffel (or the SS) and it's armed division the Waffen SS was a major paramilitary force under Adolf Hitler (who was secretly Adolph the Apothicon in Timeline A) during the reign of Nazi Germany.

The Allgemeine SS was in charge of enforcing the (racial in Timelines B and C) laws of Nazi Germany, while the Waffen SS was the military branch that served alongside the Wehrmacht in combat. The third branch, the SS-Totenkopfverbände, were in charge of the prison and extermination camps.

The SS were responsible for millions of war crimes committed by the Axis during the Second Butter War.

In the 2160's, the Fourth Reich would develop their own version of the SS.
