Loyalty to Hitler's regime, hatred of enemies, fanatical belief in their higher purpose and elegant black uniforms - all of these embodied the SS organization.
All the crimes of the Third Reich are in one way or another linked to the security units (SS). This sinister organization controlled virtually every aspect of life in Nazi Germany. From a group of bodyguards in black uniforms, the SS grew into an influential organization with a full-fledged army at its disposal - the SS troops. German historian and editor-in-chief of Spiegel magazine Heinz Hene (1926-2010) witnessed the emergence and growth of the SS in Germany. Despite his service in the German army during World War II, Hene was an opponent of National Socialism and the SS. In his book on the SS, first published in Germany in 1966, Hene tells the story of the security forces from their creation in 1923 to their total collapse in 1945, focusing on the SS's involvement in crimes and the organization of concentration camps, the SS leadership's influence on German domestic and foreign policy, and the SS's role in the occupation regime and the extermination of the Jews.
