Chapter 77 Waffen SS (Plus 3)
SS, German: ? Schutzstaffel, a combination of German Schutz (guard, protection, personal guard) and German Staffel (team, group, team), commonly referred to as SS in English, and their team emblem is two. Road lightning, similar to s.
The SS was originally a personal escort group set up by foreigners for Hitler. After it became independent from the stormtroopers, it mainly protected all senior officials in the party, collected anti-assassination intelligence, and monitored political style.
Later, it evolved into a security force that carried out the Nazi party's investigation and "interrogation", and the public security maintenance "patrol" banned.
Now, Himmler has served as Germany's Minister of the Interior, established the National Security Agency, and the SS has become Germany's de facto national public security unit, and has progressed to a security organization for espionage "surveillance" containment.
However, the current SS is still not a military organization.
Historically, the SS established a special mobile unit, which was gradually expanded until it was officially accepted in 38 years. The Wehrmacht is the country's armed forces, while the Waffen SS is Hitler's Führer's elite army. The title of the Waffen SS was only used in 39 years.
And now, in the face of the vacuum of power and the unease of Hitler, Cyric simply suggested the establishment of a new paramilitary force!
Hitler killed the stormtroopers himself, he has won the support of the military, and it will also satisfy Hindenburg and others. Now, Hitler wants to set up a small mobile force. Those guys in the Wehrmacht, dare to say What?
Moreover, Cyric also knew that the German Wehrmacht was not completely obedient to Hitler, and the Prussian officer corps would never be as loyal as these party members!
It's good to say that when the war is won, once the war is defeated, those guys will start to play tricks, and even the senior personnel are planning the assassination of Hitler!
The Wehrmacht will not resolutely implement Hitler's orders. On the contrary, the absolutely loyal Waffen SS is the first-class combat effectiveness. Divisions such as the Skeleton Division and the Imperial Division make the enemy fearful.
Now, forming these troops earlier would be more beneficial to Germany's future battles, but Cyric did not expect that Hitler would actually let him be the leader!
In later generations, the Waffen SS was Himmler's!
In later generations during Hitler's rule, the SS evolved into an extremely large organization, with many subordinates and powers, doing almost everything.
If the SS is roughly divided into two parts, it is the Waffen SS and the subordinate SS. The Waffen SS is the armed force of the SS, and the subordinate SS is responsible for the vast majority of the administrative affairs of the SS, and at the same time has the police functions of the SS.
If it continues to be named after the SS, Himmler will of course regard it as his deployment, but as a result, it was taken first by Cyric!
"Chief, I don't have much desire for these powers. I don't think I can be qualified for this responsibility. After all, my most important job now is to restore our military industry to its best state." Xi Rui Ke said, "I'm planning to go out again recently, but I really don't have the ability to do it."
Hitler's hand pressed tightly on Cyric's shoulder, and his words were incomparably calm: "Cyric, what I value is your quality, I believe that you will definitely be competent. ."
…
In a villa on the outskirts of Berlin.
"Schleicher and former military intelligence chief Breedot were all killed, and even Deputy Prime Minister Papen was arrested. Fortunately, they have been released today." A pale-faced young man turned to the old man in front of him, The soul of the German army, said Marshal Hindenburg.
Although Hindenburg has withdrawn from the political arena, he is still a veteran and the most prestigious person!
Now, listening to the words in his ear, Hindenburg looked at the sky in the distance and said nothing. After a long time, he finally sighed: "Send a telegram, as an old soldier and former president, I am very concerned about this. I express my deep gratitude for this action, and congratulations to the current President, Hitler, for stopping the mutiny in the bud and allowing our Germany to escape a catastrophe."
"Marshal, it is clear that Hitler took advantage of this opportunity to cleanse his dissidents!" The people around him couldn't help saying.
"Hey, you're still too young, I'm already old, we Germany, if we want to be strong again and want revenge, we need a tough president, do you understand?"
Hindenburg, who was idle at home, supported the action of the Night of the Long Knives, and the Wehrmacht also supported Hitler's actions, even if Hitler killed two generals in the army!
At least, the risk of stormtroopers replacing the Wehrmacht is gone! Hitler used this incident to confirm his attitude and absolutely trust the Wehrmacht! And the Wehrmacht, from now on, will completely obey his orders!
At the same time, as the leader of "Mutiny", Roma also reached the last moment of his life.
"Roma." Cyric came to the cell and looked at the people in front of him. At this time, although Rom had been reduced to a prisoner, his face was still rebellious. He looked even more ferocious, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.
"This pistol is for you, you can kill yourself with it." Cyric placed a Browning pistol in front of Rom.
Rom sneered and stared at Cyric fiercely: "If you want to kill me, ask Adolf to do it himself!"
Rom put his hands on his chest, looking unwilling.
So, Cyric could only turn around and wave to the person behind him.
Gunshots sounded.
Two days later, Hitler began a performance in the House of Representatives.
"In this hour, I am in charge of the fate of the German people, and thus I am the supreme law enforcer of the German people. I gave the order to shoot the culprit of this mutiny, and to burn further the fountains of corruption in this country. Its existence depends on its internal order and security, and cannot be threatened without punishing anyone! Let it be known that at all times, if anyone sets out to attack the country, it must be his death.”
In Hitler's definition, this was a rebellion orchestrated by Rohm and Schleicher to overthrow the country's regime!
Although the mastermind of the rebellion has been caught, this purge operation will continue!
Politicians and social figures who were dissatisfied with the Workers' Party and Hitler were all included in the purge list. Other parties, Jews who were rich and unkind...
Under Himmler's leadership, this purge will be quite thorough!
