Adolf Hitler's Elite SS Bodyguard Division
About Me:
(1923--1933) In the earliest days of the NSDAP, leaders realized that bodyguard units composed of trustworthy and loyal men would be a wise development. Ernst Röhm formed a guard formation from the 19.Granatwerfer-Kompanie, and from this formation the Sturmabteilung (SA) soon evolved. Adolf Hitler, realizing the potential threat the SA presented, in early 1923 ordered the formation of a bodyguard for himself. Originally, the tiny unit was composed of only eight men (and commanded by Julius Schreck and Joseph Berchtold). It was designated the Stabswache (Staff Guard). The guards of the Stabswache were issued badges that showed their difference from the SA (despite the fact that at this stage the Stabswache still was under overall SA control): Schreck resurrected the use of the Totenkopf (Deaths head skull) as insignia, a symbol various elite forces had used throughout the Prussian kingdom and the later German Empire. Soon after its formation, the unit was renamed Stoßtrupp (Shock Troop) Adolf Hitler. On 9 November 1923, the Stoßtrupp, along with the SA and several other NSDAP paramilitary units, took part in the abortive Beer Hall Putsch in Munich. In the aftermath of the putsch, Hitler was imprisoned and the NSDAP and all associated formations, including the Stoßtrupp, were officially disbanded. Shortly after Hitler's release, in April 1925, he ordered a new bodyguard unit formed, the Schutzkommando (protection command), renamed the Sturmstaffel (assault squadron) shortly after, and then, in November, renamed the Schutzstaffel, abbreviated SS. By March 1933, the SS had grown from a tiny personal bodyguard unit to a formation of over 50,000 men. The decision was made to form a new bodyguard unit, again called the Stabswache, picking capable and trustworthy SS men mostly from the 1st SS Standarte operating out of Munich to form its cadre. By 1933 this unit was under the command of Josef "Sepp" Dietrich who had selected 117 men for the SS-Stabswache Berlin, out of these initial 117 men, three would become divisional commanders, at least eight would become regimental commanders, fifteen became battalion commanders and over thirty became company commanders, all within the Waffen SS. Eleven men from the first company of 117 originals also went on to win the Knights Cross, and forty of them were awarded the German Cross in gold for bravery. Later in 1933, two further training units were formed: SS-Sonderkommando Zossen and a second unit, designated SS-Sonderkommando Jüterbog.
In September 1933, the two Sonderkommandos merged into the SS-Sonderkommando Berlin. In November 1933, on the 10th anniversary of the Beer Hall Putsch, the Sonderkommando took part in the rally and memorial service at the Feldherrnhalle, erected in the place where many NSDAP members had fallen during the putsch. All members of the Sonderkommando swore personal allegiance to Hitler himself. To conclude this ceremony, the Sonderkommando received a new title, Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler (LAH). As the SS began to swell with new recruits, the LSSAH remained the pinnacle of Hitler's Aryan ideal. Strict recruitment regulations meant that only those deemed sufficiently Aryan, as well as being physically fit and National Socialists, would be admitted.

The Leibstandarte was also in the vanguard of the March into Austria as part of the Anschluss and in 1938 the LSSAH took part in the occupation of the Sudetenland. By 1939 the LSSAH was a full infantry regiment with three infantry battalions, an artillery battalion and anti-tank, reconnaissance and engineer subunits, it was involved in the annexation of Bohemia and Moravia. Soon after this action, the LSSAH was redesignated Infanterie-Regiment Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler (mot.). When Hitler ordered the formation of an SS division in mid 1939, the Leibstandarte was designated to form its own unit, unlike the other Standarten of the SS-Verfügungstruppe (SS-VT) (SS-Standarte Deutschland, SS-Standarte Germania, and SS-Standarte Der Führer).

Fritz Christen was a decorated soldier of the Totenkopf division of the Waffen-SS during World War II. The Totenkopf division was heavily embroiled in combat on the Eastern front from the first days of the German invasion of the Soviet Union. On the morning of September 24, 1941, Christen and his anti-tank battery were engaging Russian targets north of the village of Lushno. In an initial engagement, Soviet skirmishers killed all of the other men of the battery. While exposed to artillery and small arms fire, Christen manned his 50mm cannon alone, holding on without supplies or provisions for the next three days. For this stunning act of individual bravery, SS-Obergruppenführer Theodor Eicke awarded Christen with the Iron Cross, First Class and recommended him simultaneously for the Knight's Cross. Subsequently, Hitler personally awarded him the Knight's Cross, making Christen the first enlisted man in his division to be given the honor.

I'm not sure what to say. I don't think you're worthy to be trolled by me. I think we're just going to have to settle for a little dispute.
Too bad I can't think of anything to argue about.
Maybe you'll have better luck. Throw something at me. (Metaphorically.)
The only type of people that are closet fags are the priest that preform sexual deviant acts amongst the children such as the the Vatican Muppet's and whose that follow in their foot steps such as yourself.
