User blog comment:Tesla Man/SNLF vs Waffen SS/@comment-4661256-20111220021623

@ Everyone who thinks the Waffen SS are the special forces of Nazi Germany:

Deadliest Warrior misrepresented them horribly! The SS was a fighting unit, and a great one, but mainly the SS Panzer and Infantry divisions did the majority of the combat. The Waffen SS were the executioners and "ethnic cleansers" that ran Hitler's ghettos, concentration camps, death camps, and shot people where they stood. The Waffen SS had training, yes, but they applied it against innocents or poorly trained, poorly armed French partisans - opponents they could easily stomp with their polished Jackboots. When the US Army came to liberate the camps, the Waffen SS fled with their tails between their legs.

Now compare this to the SNLF. The Japanese put death before dishonor - self-sacrifice to win a good name for the family. The Japanese have such high casualties in WWII not because of their poor fighting skills but because of their absolute refusal to give in. They had to be killed. At Iwo Jima and Okinawa, nearly the entire Japanese garrison had to be killed because none would just give in. They had to be nuked into oblivion! Add this to the fact that they're fighting on their home turf, and the Waffen SS will be fighting an enraged enemy in an alien land. No chance whatsoever for Hitler's little spoiled brats.
