List of SS personnel

Between 1925 and 1945, the German SS grew from a mere eight members to over a quarter of a million Waffen-SS and well over a million Allgemeine-SS members. The following list of SS personnel gives the names of persons who counted among the organization's most famous, influential, and sometimes notorious members.

Adolf Hitler

Prior to 1934 the SS were nominally under the command of the Sturmabteilung [Snyder, Dr. Louis L.: "Encyclopedia of the Third Reich", page 147. Blandford, 1989.] and so it could be said that both Adolf Hitler as Oberster SA-Führer and Ernst Röhm as Stabschef SA outranked the most senior SS position of Reichsführer. Following the Night of the Long Knives Hitler "raised the SS, hitherto subordinate to the SA, to the rank of an independent organisation". [Bullock, Alan: "Hitler and Stalin", page 374. Fontana, 1998.]
