What else can I help you with?
Did the ss in Germany have a uniform?
Yes, they wore black uniforms. Improved answer: The SS wore black uniforms until around 1937. During the war, they wore grey or field-grey uniforms.
What SS units wore double totenkopf collar insignia?
Answer.The totenkopf, or death's head, was the collar insignia worn by the pre-war SS-Totenkopf standarten (Death's Head regiments) which were tasked with guarding the concentration camps. Following the outbreak of war, these regiments were withdrawn from their concentration camp duties, and combined to form the Totenkopf Division of the Waffen-SS -or 'armed SS'. Originally the totenkopf insignia was worn only on the right collar patch of the uniform, with (for ranks below SS-Standartenfuhrer, or colonel) the wearer's rank worn on the left collar patch. However, for a period, from about October 1939, it seems that there was an order that Waffen-SSdivisions should wear their divisional insignia on bothcollar patches, and rely on their newly-introduced Army-style shoulder straps to indicate rank. As a result, members of the Totenkopf division wore the totenkopf insignia on both their collar patches. However, around May 1940, Himmler abolished this order, and the insignia returned to the original arrangement -i.e. SS divisional insignia on the right collar patch, and rank insignia on the left collar patch. Incidentally, this ruling also applied to other SS divisions' collar-patch insignia, including the SS runes (which, in some cases, included a mirror image -i.e. the SS runes backwards!) and the odal rune worn by the Waffen-SS Prinz Eugen mountain division.The double totenkopf insignia worn by members of the Waffen-SS Totenkopf division should not be confused with the double totenkopf insignia worn on the collar patches of the black uniforms of the Heer (German Army) panzer crews. The Heer totenkopf insignia was of a different design, and worn on different-shaped collar patches.
Did the Germans in charge of the Concentration camps wear suits?
No, they were members of the SS and wore SS uniforms.
What German waffen ss units were in the Battle of Stalingrad during world war 2?
Twelve Waffen SS units
Was the SS a platoon of the Nazi army?
No. The SS was a NAZI force separate from the GERMAN army. The main differences being that the German army wore their grey uniforms and fought according to the Geneva convention (they did not commit atrocities, they were the main force used for invasions etc.) whereas the SS was a force of Nazi fanatics, they believed in Hitler not Germany, they wore camouflage or Black uniforms.The SS was responsible for the Holocaust, and the slaughtering of the Slavs.See related question.Additional AnswerA correction the the above answer. The SS stopped wearing black uniforms around 1937. During the war, they wore Army-style uniforms with SS insignia. SS Panzer crews wore black uniforms similar to the Army's black unforms -however, these were nothing like the prewar SS 'black uniform'. It's also incorrect to say that the SS was a force of 'Nazi fanatics', as many Waffen-SS units were formed from Western and Eastern volunteers who were more anti-communist than nazi.
What are ss units?
SS units were volunteer troops with particularly strong commitments to Nazi ideology. I just looked that up, too.
What color shirts did Nazi SS troops wear?
The Nazi SS stormtroopers wore brown shirts and uniforms from 1929 to 1932. However, the Nazi SS soldiers also wore uniforms that were black in color and shirts that were brown. With time, there were other changes to the SS Nazi uniform in terms of insignia, colors, and to show the different ranks.
Did the German SS flags have the skull and crossbones on them?
Not on their flags, no. They wore a death's head skull as a collar insignia. The 'skull and crossbones' is infact the insignia of the SS 'Totenkopf' or Death's Head division. This was one of the first divisions of the Waffen-SS to be established from the SS-VT. The Totenkopf division was responsible for, amongst other things, the running of the concentration camps The Skull & Cross bones, called Totenkopf (Death Head) in German, is an old symbol dating back to the time of the German Empire under the Kaisers. The symbol was a badge of honor given to troops that particpated in the funeral ceremony of emperors. Later, during the Hitler period, the symbol was used by units considered "elite", i.e. the S.S. There are some British tank units that had a similar collar device, but I do not know the history of how they came to be. The armored forces (panzer units) also used the "totenkopf" collar device and were sometimes mistaken for S.S. troops when captured. SS units wore an eagle insigna on their left upper sleeve, while wehrmacht troops wore it on the breast. The SS Divsion "Totenkopf" did have the skull & cross bones on their divisional flag. The skull and crossbones go back to some Prussian guards cavalry units and became part of their official insignia in 1740 under Frederick the Great. One Prussian Hussar (light cavalry) regiment was dressed in black and had a tall hat with a complete skeleton insignia on it. I believe their motto was "Death before Dishonor"--same as the SS. Later in WW1, this Hussar unit wore a fur busby with a chapless skull & cross-bones. The British 17th Lancer Regiment used the skull and cross-bones as their insignia and cap badge. This unit dates back to the "Charge of the Light Brigade" during the Crimean War. During WW2 this unit was an armored regiment. There have been many other units in other countries that adopted a skull as their insignia. During WW2, Italians had a unit called the Black Brigades or Brigate Nerre, that used an insignia of a skull with a dagger clenched in its teeth. There are many examples of skulls used in US Air Force and US Navy squadron patches during WW2 up to present day. The German Panzer units wore a small chapless skull sitting on cross-bones mounted on a black collar tab with pink pipping. The SS Divsion "Totenkopf" wore the Skull on one collar lapel and the SS-runes on the other. But this was unique to this division as was the flag mentioned, above. The regular SS wore the skull(with a jaw) on their caps, under the eagle branch insignia. Custermen I'd like to point out, since nobody seems to have done this yet, that the SS flag was black with two sig runes ('lightning bolts') in white spelling SS.
