I loved the animation, but I would like to take the opportunity to give a little historical context here.

Despite the fact that waffen ss soldiers are shown here quite frequently (yeah I know it isn't supposed to be accurate, just sharing knowledge), the conquest of France was one of their first engagements (with a very limited presence in Poland) and they made a remarkably poor showing and this ruined their reputation with the wehrmacht until the eastern front when they sharpened their swords against the red army. They had very disproportionately heavy casualties in most engagements with the French. And they didn't know what they were doing, soldiers who don't know what they're doing are the most brutal and the SS in France was brutal in a not so good way, a lot of their officers were penalized for various massacres. The French War caused some doctrinal changes and the formation of formally trained SS panzerdivisions (the waffen ss in France had no military training and were initially formed to be Hitler's bodyguards).

Interesting to note that some people in the NSDAP wanted to replace the entire wehrmacht with the SA/SS. We can see the example of the French war why this would have been an absolute catastrophe and why hitler was wise to keep the wehrmacht around. The performance of the waffen ss was poor and it was course corrected by training coming from experienced officers in the wehrmacht. Plus the wehrmacht was there in the first place to fight France and Poland, the SS alone would have likely lost these engagements.

Germany followed the same precedent set by Italy where most of the initial blackshirt battalions deployed in north africa did horrifically in comparison to the Italian army proper, and so the Italian government formed the M battalions out of the best of the best from the blackshirts and gave them advanced training in warfare. The M battalions performed ferociously in barbarossa much like the waffen ss did. Despite italy being the butt of many jokes, battaglioni M gave the soviets pure hell on earth and most battles fought between the italians and the soviets were landslide Italian victories without german help. Especially M battalion battles. They learned from their piss poor performance in Greece, contrary to popular belief. Unfortunately the Italian army fought to almost the very last man in stalingrad, but about 8000 survivors managed a miraculous and skillfully executed breakout from the soviet encirclement.

Furthermore, I consider that Israel must be destroyed
