		Tangible evidence of their "elite" status was the award of named cuff titles to units of the Waffen SS; while the use of cuff titles was common in many military and paramilitary organizations in the Third Reich, there were few combat units permitted to wear them as a means of identification.
		The Waffen-SS ("Armed SS") was the combat arm of the Schutzstaffel (SS,"Protective Squadron of the NSDAP").
