The Waffen SS *absolutely were* Nazi party members, no possibly about it... they were part of the Nazy Party, as the armed wing of the armed wing of the Schutzaffel.

I take your point and will certainly do some research on just how many Nazis were in the armed forces. In the meantime, I do have the opportunity to clarify what could be taken wrongly.

If persons quite rightfully object to questionable conduct and merely require an address to that, it is ok. When I mentioned "the rotten obscene head of political correctness" I meant the use of a minor incident to destroy. That is to blow it up far and beyond what it really was. It was not done on this thread hopefully.

One is reminded of a politician who addressed black persons as "you people". The howls and nastiness were beyond belief. Instead of it being said, to "be a little more careful with the you people next time".

Excuse the ramble, just glad to clarify.

As I understand it, the SS were the protection arm of the Nazi Party. The Waffen SS were the armed wing of the SS (hence the name). All SS were Nazis.
