Eventually, its ranks would grow to rival even Germany’s regular armed forces, the Wehrmacht.
Going beyond the myths and characterizations, Army of Evil reveals the reality of the SS as a cadre of unwavering political fanatics and power-seeking opportunists who slavishly followed an ideology that disdained traditional moralityan ideology that they were prepared to implement to the utmost murderous extreme, which ultimately resulted in the Holocaust.
