SS (Schutzstaffel)

The SS is a secondary-enemy type, seeing action in the campaign for The Last Crusade.

History
The SS Schutzstaffel was formed on April 4th, 1925, by Adolf Hitler. The SS formed as a paramilitary unit, made up of from NSDAP (Nazi party) members who volunteered for service, originally as a guard unit for the Nazi party to provide security at rallies, and meetings. Eventually being taken over by Heinrich Himmler, Himmler greatly improved and boosted the SS. Forming it as a group for the elite, pulling members from the SA, and the German Army. Eventually becoming one of the most feared, elite, brutal, and effective fighting force to date.

Description

Although members of the SS, such as Colonel Vogel, and certain Enemy SS Soldier variants are present, they are not distinctly referred to as being members of the Nazi party, or being in the SS, even if they are members.
