Waffen-SS

"The SS Honor Guards will defend the Reich with their last breath!"

- Reznov "It's hell out there guys. It looks like a whole division of SS has moved in and they aren't giving up those crossroads."

- Manny Castillo

The Waffen-SS (Armed Protection Squadron) was a radical Nazi military force of the Third Reich. It is the armed wing of the Schutzstaffel or SS, an entity of the Nazi Party. The Waffen-SS saw action throughout World War II and served alongside the Wehrmacht, but were never formally a part of it.

Call of Duty and United Offensive
In the original Call of Duty and its expansion pack, Call of Duty: United Offensive, Waffen-SS feature alongside the Wehrmacht. They wear a green pea-dot pattern tunic and helmet with standard trousers.

Call of Duty 2: Big Red One
A regiment of mechanized SS is mentioned in the beginning of the game in the mission We've Been Through Worse.

Call of Duty 3
Waffen-SS appear in various levels. They can be seen with their iconic "" on their collar.

Call of Duty: World at War
Waffen-SS troops make some appearances in Call of Duty: World at War. They are prominently featured late in the Russian campaign when the Red Army pushes deep into Germany. Their first appearance is at the end of "Heart of the Reich". They are also the main enemies in the mission "Downfall", defending the Reichstag. One loyal Waffen-SS tries to kill the player at the end of "Downfall". Their model appearance is very similar to Call of Duty 3's model.

Quotes
In the level "Downfall" in Call of Duty: World at War the following can be heard from the fanatically loyal SS troopers:


 * "Deutschland über alles!" - "Germany above all!"
 * "Für den Führer!" - "For the Führer!"
 * "Für die Ehre des Reiches!" - "For the honor of the Reich!"
 * "Gebt euer Leben für das Deutsche Reich!" - "Give your lives for the German Reich!"
 * "Gebt euer Leben für den Führer!" - "Give your lives for the Führer!"

Trivia

 * The Waffen-SS also appear as Zombies in Nacht Der Untoten, Verrückt, and Der Riese, their revamped versions in Call of Duty: Black Ops, as well as Kino der Toten and Dead Ops Arcade.
 * To save memory, the Waffen-SS skin in Call of Duty: World at War reuses the helmet for the standard Wehrmacht soldier skin, meaning that they have the Wehrmacht decal rather than the "SS Inverted.svg" runes.
