And so it may be, for the flag was first used by a French order of militant monks known as the “Poor Soldiers of Christ and the Temple of Solomon” – commonly known as the Knights Templar. From the years of 1939-1945 the SS (part of the Nazi army) were responsible for deaths of 11-14 million people which included about 2/3s of the European Jewish population or 6 million people. They wore the same uniform as the SA except for a black cap with a silver death's head badge and a black tie. Eicke repeatedly pressed home his principles in orders, circulars and memoranda. History mentions no super powers. This unit grew into the Schutzstaffel (SS), which continued to use the Totenkopf as insignia throughout its history. He never mentioned his rationale for the order; guesses include Hermann Göring's assurance that the Luftwaffe could complete the destruction of the BEF, and Hitler's reluctance to risk his valuable panzers in the unfriendly marsh terrain of neighboring Flanders. The above is the lead photo and story on Politico right now. Culturally the country by explaining that Hitler had used the Spear of Destiny to brainwash any American hero who entered Germany's borders (In some stories, this extends to the entire Eastern Hemisphere) and send them off to attack the US. €Eicke viewed the SS-Totenkopfverbände (Death's Head unit) as an elite within the elite structure of the SS. It was only after 1932 that they wore an all-black uniform. Nazism's roots are arguably traceable to an occult group called the Thule Society, depending on which rumors you listen to, and a lot of the senior Nazis (including Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS) were intensely interested in the occult. With the agreement of Adolf Hitler, Himmler expanded the size of the SS. This concept grew from the fact that the most dangerous political enemies of the state were incarcerated in the concentration camps and Hitler had given sole responsibility for guarding and running the camps to the SS- Totenkopfverbände.
