Best Ss Unit

Setting aside the meaning of the SS and the crud, for lack of a better term, that they stood for.

Which SS unit conducted themselves with the most valor in battle? Which unit did more to help Germany on the battlefield over the course of the entire war and why?

 

Quite a difficult one. Like picking any 'favourite' unit from any force.... US Airborne, Ranger or Marine? British Para, Commando or Infantry?

A little too subjective to be a real choice of a 'best' unit. So I for one haven't got a clue.

Which SS....
At first I have to admit that if those valorous grenaders didn´t shut slavians or jews. They helped those one who did it behind the frontline!
I´m not proud of it!

But if we write about the most valor Waffen SS unit, then my favorite is Battalion Narva that was part of
Wiking div.
They kept off numerous Soviets forces in Izjum. Because of they actions Soviets didnt besieged german
units in Donbass like they have planed in ``Skotchek``-Rokhossovski was author!!!!

 

Bt reputation and deed there can never be as tough a mob as the 12 SS Panzer Div. The Hitler Youth division they fought on when all was lost.
I doubt very much if there ever existed a better fighting force than those Murdering scum.

Judgement is the perogative of the victorious so in that sense Sapper is possibly right.

Respect!!!


But my favorite is Grenaders of Battalion Narva

 

My vote definitely lies with the 12th SS. They were fanatical, and fought to the last man. They halted Allied forces at Caen and allowed many more German units to escape over the Rhine before they were annihilated.
