 the leibstandarte
The Leibstandarte or, to give its full name, the Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler (LSSAH), was the first and is probably the most well-known of the premier Waffen-SS Panzer divisions.
Hitler was jailed, and the NSDAP - and the Stosstrupp with it - were disbanded on the orders of the government.
In spite of Dietrich's intentions, the Leibstandarte was to play a key role in what was probably the most significant political upheaval to take place within the Nazi leadership during the 1930s, the so-called "Night of the Long Knives", which saw the SS supplant the SA as the most powerful paramilitary force in Germany.

 The SS-Panzer-Artillery Regiment 1 Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler (LAH) in World War II by Thomas Fischer - ...
The artillery batteries of the LAH during the whole of World War II faced some of the hardest combat, and probably no other artillery unit was used as often at critical spots on all fronts.
Especially during the difficult defensive battles in the winter of 1943-1944 in the Ukraine, every artillery piece - whether a heavy field howitzer, or 15cm rocket launcher - was often used at such close range that it was fired with barrels in a horizontal position.
The battery was later attached to the reconnaissance unit in the vanguard of the LAH and experienced the hardest battles while using "Panzermeyer tactics" that required rapid marches and lightning fast deployment into firing positions.
