Their Uniform was black, Their Badge was a human skull, and They murdered millions...
They were the Nazi SS and they terrorized a nation. Swearing eternal allegiance to Adolf Hitler, they infiltrated every aspect of German life. In charge of the police and the secret service , the SS also occupied key positions in agriculture, the health service, racial policy, and scientific affairs. The sentries of the Reich Chancellery and the guards in the death camps were handpicked from their deadly ranks. The SS crushed its way into the Nazi hierarchy and traditional diplomatic festivities. This secret society considered itself a new religious sect with its own rites and customs- accountable to no one.
The order of the death's head cuts through the myth of the efficient German machine and exposes the rivalries, infighting and bizarre customs of the most macabre elite in modern history.
