Waffen means weapons. Waffen-SS usually hyphenated was the armed militarized segment of the SS. Three of the top divisions were on a par with regular Army Armored divisions- but only Three- Liebstandarte, Das Reich, and Totenkopf. The Totenkopf- Death"s Head was a full-up Panzer division and was called in in such things as the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. It should be understood not all SS-men were of the Waffen-SS in fact there were Allgemeine ( generalized) SS personnel who were among usual police tasks as traffic control, security around sporting events such as the Olympics, photographers, cryptographers, etc. These were not strictly speaking Waffen-SS as these were unarmed jobs- as many police agencies have and need.AnswerIn the sense that it is used in 'Waffen SS', the word 'waffen' simply means 'armed'. So, 'Waffen SS' means 'Armed SS'.
The key differences between the Waffen-SS and the Wehrmacht during World War II were their organizational structure, recruitment criteria, and loyalty. The Waffen-SS was a separate branch of the Nazi military, known for its ideological commitment to Nazism and its role in carrying out atrocities. The Wehrmacht, on the other hand, was the regular German army, with a more traditional military structure and recruitment process. Additionally, the Waffen-SS was directly loyal to Hitler and the Nazi party, while the Wehrmacht was loyal to the German state.
