Cropped page from Organisationsbuch der NSDAP issued by the Nazi Party's national organizational leader (Reichsorganisationsleiter) Robert Ley for the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiter-Partei, Reichsorganisationsamt; published in 1936 by Zentralverlag der NSDAP, Franz Eher Nachf., München; circa 550 pages, 71 pages of plates; German language; letters in Fraktur style typefaces.

The Schutzstaffel (SS) was a major paramilitary organization under Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party (NSDAP) in Nazi Germany, and later throughout German-occupied Europe during World War II. The two main constituent groups were the Allgemeine SS ('General SS') and later Waffen-SS ('Armed SS'). The Allgemeine SS was responsible for enforcing the racial policy of Nazi Germany and general policing, whereas the Waffen-SS consisted of combat units within Nazi Germany's military. A third component, the SS-Totenkopfverbände (SS-TV), ran the concentration and extermination camps. Additional subdivisions of the SS included the Gestapo and the Sicherheitsdienst (SD) organizations.
