Germans who wish to use firearms should join the SS or the SA - ordinary citizens don't need guns, as their having guns doesn't serve the State.
Heinrich Himmler
I did not volunteer for the Waffen SS, but was, as were thousands of my year group, conscripted. I did not then know as a 17-year-old that it was a criminal unit. I thought it was an elite unit.
Gunter Grass
I was not a member of the SS.
Albert Speer
If I had known it I would have told my son, I'd rather shoot you than let you join the SS. But I didn't know.
Wilhelm Keitel
In 1934, the American Jewish charities offered to find homes for 300 German refugee children. We were on the SS Washington, bound for New York, Christmas 1934.
Jack Steinberger
The SS, as such, behaved no more criminally than any other social groups would behave when taking part in political events.
