The most prominent symbol of the SS soldiers is the "SS" badge on the right collar of the uniform. The two letters are designed as two lightning bolts. In the country occupied by Germany, these two lightning flashes became a terror symbol known to all ages. From Xilu military http://www.xilu.com

The role of the party and the guards in the second world war is mainly manifested in three areas: the core security organization; the management of the concentration camp; the front-line operations. In any field, the will, discipline and cold blood of this political arm are extraordinary. The major crimes committed by Nazi Germany in World War II were mostly related to the SS. The SS soldiers were deeply hated, including a generation of Germans who grew up after the war.

During my Ph.D. study, there was a university student from South Germany called Althouse, which means "old house". His grandfather worked as the SS. Because of this, he didn't want to see his grandfather since he was sensible. When I asked him why, the young "old house" said: "one of the SS is a murderer, and each of them has an average of three civilian lives. I am ashamed to be German with them. " I asked him where the figure came from, and he held his finger to calculate for me: "I don't know how many soldiers the SS recruited before and after, but I know it reached the highest number at the end of 1944, 900000. With the number of people it lost, I estimate that its total number in the whole war should be around 2 million. Thirty million people died in Europe during World War II, six million of them Jews. According to the most conservative method, we should not wrongly put the account of the death of 6 million civilians on the head of the party and the guards, right? That's not a SS soldier with three lives on his back! "

For this reason, I have specially consulted some documents on the SS published in Germany and found some criminal records of SS outside the concentration camp. Here are two excerpts (please note that these words are completely written by the Germans themselves):

On April 5, 1944, the 7th SS regiment in Greece destroyed a village called klisura in retaliation for the guerrilla attacks, killing 215 residents, 72 of whom were minors under the age of 15. The same force also destroyed a village called distromen, killing more than 300 people, including women and children.

On June 10, 1944, the 4th armored infantry regiment of the imperial division of the SS destroyed the French village oradoursur glane in retaliation for the attack of the French guerrillas, killing 642 people at a time, 190 of whom were primary and secondary school students. The cause of the incident was the shooting of a SS officer by a resistance sniper. This operation is called a "general military operation" in the archives of the party and the guard.

Exposing the war crimes of the Nazi army is not the focus of my writing, because there are no secrets or disputes in this field. The key to Germany's readmission to the international community after the war is to face up to history and repent. I want to investigate and show the Chinese readers more about the personal experience and feelings of the former SS soldiers, which is not easy to do. After the war, the German soldiers who had participated in the "World War II" were divided into two categories: one was included in the category of regular soldiers, with a sentence of "no choice but to perform their duties for the country", it seemed that everything could be explained; the other was included in the category of "responsibility bearers", and the SS belonged to the latter category. The principle of "voluntary participation" makes it impossible for SS members to explain their positions in the war with "driven". The conclusion of the Nuremberg Military Court on the "criminal organizations" of the SS clearly defined the identity of these soldiers in the "World War II": members of criminal organizations. Under such pressure, former SS soldiers are often reluctant to be interviewed, especially by foreigners. The veteran of the East German region, aikat, once said that it is easy for people to form a holistic conceptual and symbolic understanding of a special group that attracts people's attention in history, which is manifested in the fact that the SS is "demonized". In order to penetrate the stereotype understanding of "demonization", I found some historical materials of the war memories of the original SS soldiers after a long time of searching, from which I can understand some individuals' feelings of this "special army" on this period of history:
