Waffen-SS

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

- Reznov



The Waffen-SS (pronounced vaffen, literally meaning Weapon SS) was the military arm of the Schutzstaffel.

Waffen-SS troops make some appearances in the Call of Duty series.

Call of Duty and United Offensive
In the original Call of Duty and its expansion pack, United Offensive, Waffen-SS feature alongside the Heer. They wear a green peadot pattern tunic and helmet with standard trousers. In the later missions they are much more likely to be using the STG-44 than their Heer counterparts.

Call of Duty 3
Waffen-SS appear in various levels. They can be seen with their iconic "" on their collar, and look very similar to the Call of Duty: World at War model.

Call of Duty: World at War
Allgemeine-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. They also appear alongside Allgemeine-SS in the mission "Downfall", defending the Reichstag.

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, as well as Kino der Toten and the revamped Call of Duty: World at War maps as seen in Prestige and Hardened editions of Call of Duty: Black Ops.
 * To save memory the Waffen-SS skin reuses the helmet for the standard Wehrmacht soldier skin, meaning that they have the Wehrmacht decal rather than the "SS Inverted.svg" Runes.
 * It was an Allgemeine-SS soldier that nearly killed Dimitri Petrenko.
 * If you look on the SS soldiers in the levels Heart of the Reich and Downfall that have their sleeves all the way down and that have the red Swastika armband they will have a cuff tab directly underneath the armband that reads Allgemeine. (Though it is barely legible.)
 * In the level Heart of the Reich there is an SS soldier near to the Death Card that is hand-cuffed with a blindfold over his eyes. He was probably executed by the Red Army.
