SS stands for Schutzstaffel, which is German for "Protection Staff". It was originally Nazi Party members who served as Adolf Hitler's personal bodyguard. After Hitler took control of Germany, the SS took control of all police, intelligence, and security agencies. The SS was also largely responsible for carrying out the Holocaust.

Hitler's private army is the Sturmabteilung or the SA. They were in charge of the beating and robbing of Jews of Germany. The SS or the Gestapo are the army of Germany, the main army.
