What is the difference between the rugular German military and the ss during ww2?
The regular German army was the Wehrmacht. The SS amounted to an entirely separate, additional national army. The regular army wore gray uniforms; the SS wore black. The regular army had several hundred divisions, the SS had several dozen. The regular army was highly professional and had many officers of very high ability and training. The SS men were often fanatical Nazis, and their officers were selected more for racial purity and political reason than for any professional ability. Because of the fanatical fighting tendencies of their men and their ruthlessness the SS were nevertheless formidable foes. Because the SS were the darlings of the political leadership they often got first dibs on new equipment and supplies. The SS and Wehrmacht units often fought side by side, but cooperation could be difficult due to the lack of professional officers in the SS. The SS had several branches. The branch which put troops in the field to fight alongside the army was the Waffen SS. There were also branches which ran the concentration camps, including the death camps, and also the Einsatzgruppen, which murdered people in masses where they were found in occupied countries, without bothering to send them to any camp. (The Wehrmacht also engaged in war crimes, though not on as large a scale and not as part of its official goals and plans, usually).
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.
