What does waffen stand for in waffen ss?

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'.

What were the key differences in terms of training, recruitment, and ideology between the Waffen-SS and the Wehrmacht during World War II?

The Waffen-SS and the Wehrmacht had key differences in training, recruitment, and ideology during World War II. The Waffen-SS was a more elite and ideological force, with stricter recruitment standards and a focus on Nazi ideology. They underwent rigorous training and were seen as more politically loyal to the Nazi regime. In contrast, the Wehrmacht was the regular German army, with broader recruitment and less emphasis on ideology. Training was generally less intense, and soldiers were expected to follow military orders rather than political beliefs.
