So that's why Trump wants to be President, rapid ageing is a given in that job. The press has published before and after pictures of every president in memory, so he'll have the perfect excuse, and probably claim to have been the best at ageing ever.

They had a lot of foreign troops once they opened it up to non-Germans in the early '40s. The percentage of the SS that were foreign grew drastically as the war progressed, I think.
[edit] from wiki: Quote:
The use of foreign regiments was very well established in European warfare. Most European armies had multiple foreign regiments, as well as, often individual foriegn volunteers in their regular regiments. It seems surprising that Hitler would accept that paradigm for the SS given they were the armed wing of the party, rather than formally part of the national army - but they became so much more of an army than a police force through the course of the war, and they were basically a way for Hitler to build a party-loyal full-scale army, despite his intentions for them to act as more as police in his nazi empire. Once you've accepted the need for a full-scale army, you kind of have to accept the need for foreign troops. Then as the war ground on, the death toll was such that the recruitment pool necessarily shifted outwards.

Thanks Dana, I wasn't aware of foreigners in the Waffen SS, I always pictured them as hardcore Aryans.
