Grossdeutschland Division was in itself an elite unit, so I doubt it would consider an SS elite unit as Special Forces. In fact, until they proved their worth on the Eastern Front, I imagine that the elite Heer units regarded the Waffen SS as anything but. I could be wrong though and if you have any sources then I'll take a look.
