Description
The different Nazi soldiers and officers of the Third Reich, often seen around Berlin and Adolf Hitler, in the three different uniform colors: Brown, Black, and Gray.

Nazi Germany, officially known as the German Reich until 1943 and Greater German Reich in 1943–45, was the German state between 1933 and 1945, when Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party controlled the country which they transformed into a dictatorship. Under Hitler's rule, Germany quickly became a totalitarian state where nearly all aspects of life were controlled by the government. The Third Reich – meaning "Third Realm" or "Third Empire" – alluded to the Nazis' conceit that Nazi Germany was the successor to the earlier Holy Roman Empire (800–1806) and German Empire (1871–1918). The Third Reich, which Hitler and the Nazis referred to as the Thousand Year Reich, ended in May 1945 after just 12 years, when the Allies defeated Germany, ending World War II in Europe.

Gestapo: The Geheime Staatspolizei (Secret State Police), abbreviated Gestapo, was the official secret police of Nazi Germany and in German-occupied Europe.

The force was created by Hermann Göring in 1933 by combining the various security police agencies of Prussia into one organization. On 20 April 1934, oversight of the Gestapo passed to the head of the SS, Heinrich Himmler, who was also appointed Chief of German Police by Hitler in 1936. Instead of being exclusively a Prussian state agency, the Gestapo became a national one as a sub-office of the Sicherheitspolizei (SiPo; Security Police). From 27 September 1939, it was administered by the Reich Main Security Office (RSHA). It became known as Amt (Dept) 4 of the RSHA and was considered a sister organization to the Sicherheitsdienst (SD; Security Service). During World War II, the Gestapo played a key role in the Nazi plan to exterminate the Jews of Europe.

Gestapo Brown Uniforms: Officer, Officer (Hat), Officer (Open Trench Coat), Officer (Hat; Open Trench Coat) Officer (Trench Coat), Officer (Hat; Trench Coat), Non-Commission Officer, Non-Commission Officer (Cap), Non-Commissioned Officer (Hat), Non-Commissioned Officer (Open Trench Coat), Non-Commissioned Officer (Cap; Open Trench Coat), Non-Commissioned Officer (Hat; Open Trench Coat), Non-Commissioned Officer (Trench Coat), Non-Commissioned Officer (Cap; Trench Coat), Non-Commissioned Officer (Hat; Trench Coat), Non-Commissioned Officer (Combat Gear), Non-Commissioned Officer (Cap; Combat Gear), Non-Commissioned Officer (Helmet; Combat Gear), Soldier, Soldier (Cap), Soldier (Helmet), Non-Commission Officer/Soldier (Combat Gear; Trench Coat), Non-Commission Officer/Soldier (Cap; Combat Gear; Trench Coat), Non-Commission Officer/Soldier (Helmet; Combat Gear; Trench Coat).

Schutzstaffel: The Schutzstaffel (SS; literally 'Protection Squadron') was a major paramilitary organization under Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party (NSDAP) in Nazi Germany, and later throughout German-occupied Europe during World War II. It began with a small guard unit known as the Saal-Schutz ("Hall Security") made up of NSDAP volunteers to provide security for party meetings in Munich. In 1925, Heinrich Himmler joined the unit, which had by then been reformed and given its final name. Under his direction (1929–1945) it grew from a small paramilitary formation during the Weimar Republic to one of the most powerful organizations in Nazi Germany. From the time of the Nazi Party’s rise to power until the regime’s collapse in 1945, the SS was the foremost agency of security, surveillance, and terror within Germany and German-occupied Europe.

The two main constituent groups were the Allgemeine SS (General SS) and Waffen-SS (Armed SS). The Allgemeine SS was responsible for enforcing the racial policy of Nazi Germany and general policing, whereas the Waffen-SS consisted of combat units within Nazi Germany's military. A third component of the SS, the SS-Totenkopfverbände (SS-TV; literally "Death's Head Units"), ran the concentration camps and extermination camps. Additional subdivisions of the SS included the Gestapo and the Sicherheitsdienst (SD) organizations. They were tasked with the detection of actual or potential enemies of the Nazi state, the neutralization of any opposition, policing the German people for their commitment to Nazi ideology, and providing domestic and foreign intelligence.

The SS was the organization most responsible for the genocidal killing of an estimated 5.5 to 6 million Jews and millions of other victims during the Holocaust. Members of all of its branches committed war crimes and crimes against humanity during World War II (1939–45). The SS was also involved in commercial enterprises and exploited concentration camp inmates as slave labor. After Nazi Germany's defeat, the SS and the Nazi Party were judged by the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg to be criminal organizations. Ernst Kaltenbrunner, the highest-ranking surviving SS main department chief, was found guilty of crimes against humanity at the Nuremberg trials and hanged in 1946.

Schutzstaffel Black Uniform: Officer, Officer (Hat), Officer (Open Trench Coat), Officer (Hat; Open Trench Coat) Officer (Trench Coat), Officer (Hat; Trench Coat), Non-Commission Officer, Non-Commission Officer (Cap), Non-Commissioned Officer (Hat), Non-Commissioned Officer (Open Trench Coat), Non-Commissioned Officer (Cap; Open Trench Coat), Non-Commissioned Officer (Hat; Open Trench Coat), Non-Commissioned Officer (Trench Coat), Non-Commissioned Officer (Cap; Trench Coat), Non-Commissioned Officer (Hat; Trench Coat), Non-Commissioned Officer (Combat Gear), Non-Commissioned Officer (Cap; Combat Gear), Non-Commissioned Officer (Helmet; Combat Gear), Soldier, Soldier (Cap), Soldier (Helmet), Non-Commission Officer/Soldier (Combat Gear; Trench Coat), Non-Commission Officer/Soldier (Cap; Combat Gear; Trench Coat), Non-Commission Officer/Soldier (Helmet; Combat Gear; Trench Coat).

Waffen-SS: The Waffen-SS ("Armed SS") was the military branch of the Nazi Party's SS organization. Its formations included men from Nazi Germany, along with volunteers and conscripts from both occupied and unoccupied lands.

The Waffen-SS grew from three regiments to over 38 divisions during World War II, and served alongside the Heer (regular army), Ordnungspolizei (uniformed police) and other security units. Originally, it was under the control of the SS Führungshauptamt (SS operational command office) beneath Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler. With the start of World War II, tactical control was exercised by the High Command of the Armed Forces (OKW), with some units being subordinated to Kommandostab Reichsführer-SS (Command Staff Reichsführer-SS) directly under Himmler's control.

Initially, in keeping with the racial policy of Nazi Germany, membership was open only to people of Germanic origin (so-called Aryan ancestry). The rules were partially relaxed in 1940, and after Operation Barbarossa in June 1941, Nazi propaganda claimed that the war was a "European crusade against Bolshevism" and subsequently formed units consisting of largely or solely of foreign volunteers and conscripts. These Waffen-SS units were made up of men mainly from among the nationals of Nazi-occupied Europe. Despite relaxation of the rules, the Waffen-SS was still based on the racist ideology of Nazism, and ethnic Poles (who were viewed as subhumans) were specifically barred from the formations.

Members of the Waffen-SS were involved in numerous atrocities. At the post-war Nuremberg Trials, the Waffen-SS was judged to be a criminal organisation due to its connection to the Nazi Party and direct involvement in numerous war crimes and crimes against humanity. Former Waffen-SS members, with the exception of conscripts, who comprised about one third of the membership, were denied many of the rights afforded to military veterans.
