Inside the SS

20171 Season7.5/10

With the aid of rare archives, this film retraces the bloody history of the SS.

To better understand the nature of fanaticism, this film retraces the bloody history of the young volunteers who joined the SS, the Schutzstaffel. Hitler created these ‘protection squadrons’ in 1925 to assure his personal security before using them to manage the repression of the regime’s real or imagined enemies and then, from 1942, the death camps.
