SS (Schutzstaffel) Field Formations (Waffen SS)
When war broke out in 1939, Himmler commenced the formation into divisions of units of the SS, armed and trained for employment with the Army. Only two or three such divisions were formed prior to the Russian campaign, but by the end of the war there were many SS divisipns. For certain administrative purposes, the Waffen SS units remained part of the SS and under the control and command of Himmler as Reichsfuehrer SS. However, for operational purposes in combat and in occupied areas, the SS divisions were under the command of the Army; and their employment differed little from that of the regular divisions of the Army.
