Personally i think that in the second world war, every soldier of every nation were all doing the same thing!
Doing what they were told!
The Schutzstaffel (SS) were good at being told what to do. The SS were basically Hitlers body guards and the elite squad of the Wehrmacht, similar to the British Royal Marines!
Hope this helps!
It stands for Schutzstaffel.
the Holocaust was an event, you cannot attribute moral values to an event. There were victims and persecutors in this event. You can say that people were bad or their motivations were bad, you can say that the perpetrators of the Holocaust were bad, you could even say that it was a bad thing that the Holocaust had to happen. Sorry to come over all Buddhist, but people are bad, not things.
There are very few photos taken during the holocaust itself. The holocaust was top secret and photography was forbidden. A few SS men did, however, take photos, but not all of these are generally available.
The SS ran the concentration camps and extermination camps and organized the holocaust.
The Holocaust was the attempted genocide of European Jews, it was bad to be a Jew in the Holocaust because you would be murdered.
From 1934 onwards all Nazi concentration camps were run by the SS.
All the Nazi leaders were heavily involved. The SS was very zealous in carrying out the Holocaust, with Himmler and Heydrich playing key roles.

There was no budget for the Holocaust and the victims had to pay for their own sufferings and their death. In 1939-40 the SS became in part a vast business entreprise. The Holocaust was financed by slave labour hired out (under SS discipline) to private entreprise. About 2,000 (!) German corporations used SS slave labour ... In addition, the victims' assets and personal possessions were seized by the SS and stolen. In all, the SS made money from the Holocaust. According to the Holocaust historian Raul Hilberg, the Nazis made more from Jewish slave labour than from seized assets.
Eichmann is a Holocaust word. SS Lieutenant Colonel Adolph Eichmann was the head of the Gestapo.
