Loyalty to the Hitler regime, hatred of enemies, fanatical belief in their higher calling and an elegant black uniform – all this personified the SS organization.
All the crimes of the Third Reich are connected to one degree or another with the Security Squads (SS). This sinister organization controlled almost all aspects of life in Nazi Germany. From a group of bodyguards in black uniforms, the SS grew into an influential organization that had a full-fledged army at its disposal – the SS troops. German historian and editor-in-chief of the magazine "Spiegel" Heinz Hoene (1926-2010) witnessed the emergence and growth of the SS in Germany. Despite his service in the German army during World War II, Hoene was an opponent of National Socialism and the SS.
In his book on the SS, first published in Germany in 1966, Hoene tells the story of the security forces from their creation in 1923 until their complete collapse in 1945, focusing on the SS's involvement in crimes and the organization of concentration camps, the influence of the SS leadership on Germany's domestic and foreign policy, the role of the SS in the occupation regime, and the extermination of the Jews.
