Not that it matters to your argument but as a point of trivia, Himmler did not create the SS. While SS member #1 was Adolf Hitler, SS member #2 was Emil Maurice, Hitler's Jewish friend and driver since the early days of the party.
- brenden2 6y agoI guess I'm conflating Waffen-SS with the SS itself (which is a superset). Waffen-SS is the military branch, and it says this on Wikipedia: > Originally, it was under the control of the SS Führungshauptamt (SS operational command office) beneath Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler. Which I interpreted ("originally") as being Himmler's creation.
