This WWII military history documentary covers certain elite German military formations and why Allied soldiers eventually stopped taking them prisoner. What started as eight bodyguards in 1923 grew into an organization of over 900,000 men by the end of the war.
This World War 2 history documentary covers how these units were formed and the strict requirements for joining. Height minimums. Perfect eyesight. Ancestry documentation back to 1750 for officers. Training that lasted 16 to 20 weeks compared to the regular army's 12 to 16.
The video covers the three main branches of the organization. The administrative arm. The camp guard units. The military combat divisions. It covers how personnel transferred constantly between branches and why this connection would matter when Allied forces encountered them on the battlefield.
This Second World War documentary covers the events in France in 1940. Normandy in 1944. The Ardennes offensive in December 1944. It covers the small blood type tattoo given to every member during training, placed under the left arm. A medical measure meant to speed up transfusions that became something very different as the war turned.
The video covers the final months. The race to reach Western lines before Soviet forces arrived. The post-war tribunals that declared the entire organization criminal. The conviction rate of 73%.
