The SS is one of the most notorious fighting forces in military history. Organized as the Führer's personal elite, they carried with them the pride of their people and a dedication to their country that arguably surpassed even that of the standard Army. The SS had stricter standards for entry, grooming, and continued enlistment which made them even by appearance more reputable and striking than other military forces of the time. Because of their unique organization and focused dedication, the SS soldaten gained reputations not only for fearlessness, but also of a cold detachment.
