3rd SS Panzer Division Totenkopf
Probably the most notorious division in the entire Waffen SS. The main reason for this is that they provided the guards for the concentration camps with the initial members of this division when incorporated into the Waffen SS being ex-concentration camp guards. [/quote:a97be]
The camp guards were soldiers who were unfit for frontline duty and were placed under the commando of RFSS Kommando Stab, they were also in charge of the Einsatzgruppen and cowardinating Anti-Partisan sweeps. That same site also connects 3.SS Totenkopf with the Totenkopf Standarte when they was no correlation between the two, except the word Totenkopf, which seems to confuse most who have never studied the subject. So connecting any of the actuall SS Divisions to the camp guards is foolish. The order to execute prisoners was one given by officers, not the common soldiers. Whether or not they believed in the Nazi ideals is tough to determine there shouldn't be any reason why the average soldier should be connected with the KZs
