    Allgemeine SS ("General SS") was the most numerous branch of

    the Schutzstaffel (SS) paramilitary forces of Nazi Germany. It was managed by


    the SS-Hauptamt (English: SS Main Offices). The Allgemeine SS was officially
    established in the autumn of 1934 to distinguish its members from the SSVerfgungstruppe (which later became theWaffen-SS) and the SSTotenkopfverbnde (concentration camp guards).
    Starting in 1939, foreign units of the Allgemeine SS were raised in occupied
    countries. They were later consolidated into the Leitstelle der germanischen
    SS (English: Directing Center of the Germanic SS) from 1940.
