Yeah I said that the Gross Deutshland was elite, but in a more conventional way... If you read the Book "The Forgotten Soldier" it explains it a lot....the Book is By Guy Sajer an Alsatian drafted in the the German army... he then volunteers for the Gross Deutshland later on in the war... He writes very humbly about himself and when he mentions the SS he does so in awe, I tend to believe him... But you can see for yourself... The book is really worth reading
