	Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As the Waffen (or 'armed') SS increased in size throughout the 1930s and into the war years, so the Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler evolved into a full sized division, the 1st SS Panzer Division, a detachment of which was always close to Hitler.
		The friction between the SA, the SS and the German army came to a head in 1934, and the SA was completely usurped as a force during the Night of the Long Knives, when several key members were executed, including its leader Ernst RÃ¶hm.
		A key example is the Battle of Kursk, when the Leibstandarte, having made the most impressive gains of all the German units involved, and on the verge of a breakthrough of the Russian defences, was withdrawn by Hitler and sent to occupy Italy.

	Waffen
		One of the units involved in the purge of June 1934 was the Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler, a squad of SS men that formed Hitler’s bodyguard under the leadership of Sepp Dietrich.
		Like its counterpart, the SSVT, the Leibstandarte was not envisaged as a military unit, but as a political force which in addition to guarding the Führer and carrying out ceremonial duties, could be used against internal enemies.
		Hitler agreed that in the forthcoming campaign in the west, the SSVT (with the exception of the Leibstandarte, which would remain an independent formation) and their support units would be grouped together as a single division, the SS Verfügungsdivision (later re-named 2nd SS Division Das Reich).
