The SS



War Documentary hosted by Stephen Rashbrook, published by ZDF in 2002 - English narration







Information

------------------------------



-- Original title: "Die SS - Eine Warnung der Geschichte"--



It was the epitome of terror. It carried out the mass murder. SS - the two letters in old Germanic rune script represent the most effective and dangerous instrument of power of the Nazi dictatorship.

The SS represented more than any other Nazi organisation the wild and deadly delusions of those who believed themselves part of the master race. It took only a few years for Hitler's Schutzstaffel to be transformed from an insignificant personal bodyguard to an all-powerful empire of evil.

The entire series makes use of original film material that had long been thought lost or destroyed. There are personal interviews with survivors and and with those men who served the inhuman SS system. Only now, as their lives draw to a close, are they prepared to speak up.

In the world's first television series on the overall history of the SS, this documentary series takes a balanced view with many previously unpublished sources and with witnesses to the history of the SS: victims, perpetrators and opponents.
