The SS was comprised of several different branches. The three main branches were the ''Allgemeine SS'', which served as general law enforcement and security, the ''Waffen-SS'', which served as the primary armed force, often acting in concert with regular German military forces, and the ''SS-Totenkopfverbände'', which was in charge of the various [[Concentration Camp|concentration camps]] established in Nazi territories. Other subdivisions included the [[Gestapo]] (which functioned as the [[secret police]] of Nazi Germany) and the ''[[Einsatzgruppen]]'', which were [[death squad]]s that eliminated civilians in Nazi-conquered territories. | The SS was comprised of several different branches.
