SS

The SS is an elite secret police force in Germany. It began as a secret police force which suppressed opposition to the Nazi Party. It was gradually expanded to include more ordinary police forces; an elite military unit, the Waffen-SS (Otto Skorzeny's unit), which saw service against the Allied Forces in World War II and against the Race after the Conquest Fleet's arrival on Earth in 1942; and the Einsatzgruppen, a gang of thugs which committed unthinkable atrocities against Jews and many others, including the operation of concentration camps such as Treblinka.

After the Peace of Cairo, the SS largely returned to its original secret police role, especially in conquered provinces of the Greater German Reich such as France. The SS was very politically powerful in Germany in the 1950s and 1960s, and produced Chancellors Heinrich Himmler and Ernst Kaltenbrunner.
