We all know that the German army in World War II can be said to have swept across the entire European continent, their mechanized troops were invincible, and later encountered resistance until the Soviet Union, but the German army at that time was actually divided into two military systems, one army represented the country, and the other army represented the political party, which was the SS and the Wehrmacht. The distinction between these two types of armies is obvious, so why do it? Let me tell you about it.
At that time, Germany was under Hitler's dictatorship, and the SS at that time was equivalent to Hitler's own personal army, while the Wehrmacht was the army of the entire German country at that time, so Hitler of course wanted to treat them differently, on the one hand, to avoid unnecessary problems, and on the other hand, the difference between concubines and miscellaneous cards.
As Hitler's concubine, the SS supplied and equipped them better than the Wehrmacht, and the officers of the Wehrmacht at that time were aristocrats, some of whom did not recognize Nazism, so they were never trusted by Hitler.
And the SS, the real concubines that Hitler could rely on, were all brought out by him, and Hitler believed in them, just like the personal bodyguards of ancient monarchs, and this SS was also this role.
The SS was also established by the Nazi Party to protect Hitler's safety, and later assigned to the SA, which was even more of a concubine for Hitler, and once there was any good weaponry, it was given to the SS first.
The SS was naturally very loyal to Hitler, and after the Beer Hall Incident, Hitler, for his own safety and in order to strengthen his own strength, turned this unit, which was originally responsible for protecting his own safety, into a special mobile unit, and later became the SS.
Since this army was all radical Nazis, they also had a fanatical admiration for Hitler, they were absolutely sincere in any situation, they fought very bravely and brutally, they became Hitler's executioners, and the iron-blooded means of this group of troops were also known to everyone.
Once, the SS of 2,000 men encountered more than 10,000 Soviet troops, and in the case of numerical inferiority, this SS army destroyed the Soviet troops alive, although the SS also suffered heavy losses, but was able to win under such a great disadvantage, this will to fight had to be admired It can be said that at that time the Wehrmacht can be described as brave, while the SS can only be described as a beast.
At that time, the German army in World War II was divided into SS and Wehrmacht, and Hitler had his own selfish intentions, but the fierceness of this SS also proved itself. Why the German army in World War II distinguished between the SS and the Wehrmacht was actually a family and a miscellaneous card
