SS (SS for short) is an armed organization separated from another Nazi armed organization, the Imperial Emergency Unit, in 1925. At first, the SS was only responsible for high-level security work, which was equivalent to escort. Later, he began to engage in intelligence gathering and political style picketing. After Hitler came to power, the SS became the de facto public security force in Germany and began to be responsible for suppressing, supervising and arresting progressives. Before World War II, the paramilitary department approved by the German Bundeswehr to organize training was called SS-Verf. Gungstruppe (abbreviated as SSVT) was later reorganized into Die Waffen Schutzstaffel (abbreviated as Waffen-SS).

As for the so-called single epaulettes of the SS, they are not epaulettes themselves, but shoulder straps, or? Shoulder rope? 、? A shoulder trip? . This is mainly assembled on the M32 uniform introduced by 1932. This suit was designed by Carl, the designer of this black uniform and the second-class assault captain of SS. Professor Diebitsch, a famous German graphic design artist, is also Himmler's private art consultant. Because the SS itself was not a regular army at that time, so? Shoulder strap? It can't be said that it has a hierarchical nature, but it is designed according to the internal level of SS. Only Himmler? And five kinds of sword patterns corresponding to general officers, school officers, junior officers and non-commissioned officers/soldiers (there are two kinds but there is little difference) to show the difference.

The design of this shoulder strap is inspired by the military uniforms of the Habsburg dynasty and the old army of Austria-Hungary. Its main function is to fix the sword clip on the chest. Many European countries' armies had it before World War I, but for the SS, it was also a show, right? Rank? This role, but at that time, the SS actually looked? Rank? Level, mainly depends on the collar, there are obvious differences. This kind of shoulder strap and M32 black with this retro shoulder strap look solemn and mysterious, which brings a sense of mission to one's own people and a sense of oppression to opponents.

However, with the increase of SS secret service, military training and combat tasks, the M32 uniform itself was no longer suitable, so after 1936, the SS began to change clothes one after another and distributed the gray uniforms of the German army at that time. The new uniform is no longer equipped with a single shoulder strap, but with epaulettes, but the sword pattern of the shoulder strap itself is preserved, sewn on the hard board epaulettes, and dotted with stars to distinguish the grades. At this time, most of the SS had been reorganized into the Armed SS, which was very powerful and equipped first-class, causing great casualties to the Allies and the Soviet Union.

The SS and Waffen-SS were either cannon fodder in the war, or they were put on trial for committing numerous crimes before and during World War II, and many people were finally hanged. They will be nailed to the shame column of history forever.
