Exactly what is "SS"?
Well, if we're talking about Hitler's secret police, the full term is "Schutzstaffel."
Anything other than that, I have no idea.

The SS was not just a secret police it was a Elite Unit in the war aswell , the SS had a lot of divisions which fought in the war aswell . My greatgrandfather was in a SS division aswell , in a Artillery Detachment ("Leibstandarte") .
For Hitler the SS was a race elite , which he used as a guard , to join the SS you had to have a minimum 250 years arish history .
So that's enought about that I think .
(Btw could someone who is English Nativespeaker tell me if it made mistakes , and where ?)

Very interesting anecdote.
Now I'm not a native English speaker, but I took the liberty anyway
I corrected and bolded most of your errors. You seem to capitalize nouns and construct your sentences like in German grammar, but that's incorrect in English. I also corrected your spacing with dots and commas. By the way, you use 'as well' way too much! I think your English looks a lot like my German, by the way

I fear one would be fighting a losing battle... If players wish for assistance, let them. If I see players going out of their way to be pedantic and petty where there is no need to be I shall not be lenient. Pick a time and a place, but there will be no "policing" on these forums.
