  • Two the SS SYSTEM and NAZI IDEOLOGY
    Two THE SS SYSTEM AND NAZI IDEOLOGY In a well-known but now aging book, Gerald Reitlinger claimed that the key for understanding the origins of the SS lay in the Freikorps: to him, there were no clear-cut boundaries between the end of the Freikorps and the beginning of SA and SS (Reitlinger, 1957, p. 4). This claim had the merit to stress some ideological continuities in a defeated and humiliated Germany, given that the Freikorps were animated by the same spirit that would give rise to Nazism. To some extent, however, the origins of the SS were a by-product of some of the Great War’s field tactics. Per se, they had little to do with ideology. 1. The Origins of the SS Late in the Great War, General Erich Ludendorff envisaged a series of attacks, in order to break through the Western front. To that purpose, he set up his assault divisions, spearheaded by shock units: the Stosstruppen, made of fighters able to use all kinds of weapons. These units were inspired by a model that had appeared empirically, on the battlefield, in 1915 (Jardin, 2005, p. 182). And precursors of such units had existed already in 1914. In fact, the inspiration for the SS came from that battlefield culture with which many people were familiar at that time. According to an official account prepared by the Archivamt des SS- Hauptamtes (SS Archive Office), early in the history of the movement, the necessity arose to create a small elite troop, made of tough and trustworthy elements.

  • Geschichte PS
    I. Historie des Personenschutzes I.1 Alte Kulturen Die Anfänge des Personenschutzes sind nicht mehr genau festzustellen. Jedoch ist es sicher, dass es bereits bei den älteren Kulturen Hinweise auf die Existenz von Kriegern gibt, deren vorrangige Aufgabe es war, den höchsten Repräsentanten des Gemeinwesens oder andere Symbolfiguren zu schützen. Dem im Jahre 206 v. Chr. gestorbenen chinesischen Kaiser Qui Shi Huangdi wurden 7000 Terrakotta-Krieger mit ins Grab gegeben. Angeblich wurden die Figuren seinen lebenden Leibwächtern und Soldaten nachempfunden. Wie viele dieser Tonkrieger tatsächlich Leibwächter waren, ist leider nicht nachzuweisen. Alle Figuren waren mit Waffen ausgerüstet, die allerdings die lange Zeit bis zur Entdeckung nicht überstanden. In einem ägyptischen Grab bei Assuit fanden Archäologen Holzfiguren als Grabbeigaben, die dunkelhäutige, lang aufgeschossene und muskulöse Krieger darstellen, die mit Pfeil und Bogen bewaffnet waren. Alterstumforscher gehen davon aus, dass es sich bei den Figuren um Leibwächter handelt, die den Verstorbenen auch im Jenseits beschützen sollten. Man nimmt an, dass die Holzfiguren nubische Krieger darstellen, die dem Pharao als Leibwächter dienten. Vom Pharao Teti, der von 2345 bis 2333 v. Chr. regierte, weiß man heute mit Sicherheit, dass er von seinem eigenen Leibwächter getötet wurde, was in späteren Epochen durchaus häufiger vorkam. Weitmehr weiß man dagegen über die cohors praetoria , die Leibgarde der römischen Feldherren. Unter K aiserAugustus (63 v. Chr. bis 14 n. Chr.) entwickelte sich schließlich die Prätorianergarde. Diese Leibgarde sorgte nicht nur für den direkten Personenschutz des Kaisers. Sie bewachten auch die Villen und Paläste oder begleiteten Augustus auf Reisen und Feldzügen. Einfache Prätorianer wurden auch im Polizeidienst eingesetzt.
