The Weapon-Schutzstaffel was the combat branch of the Schutzstaffel, serving as Hitler's personal army during World War II.

It differed from the regular German army, the Wehrmacht, in various aspects. The Weapon-Schutzstaffel recruited based on ideological criteria, prioritizing loyalty to the Nazi regime and its racial ideology. The Weapon-Schutzstaffel were known for their fanatical devotion and involvement in numerous war crimes.

Members of the Weapon-Schutzstaffel often faced harsher punishment due to their direct association with the Schutzstaffel and their active participation in atrocities. Their actions and allegiance to the Nazi regime led to a perception of heightened culpability and warranted more severe consequences.
