I understand that the SS was more of an elite branch but it feels more like a WW2 Marine Corps. Did Nazi Germany have any small special forces? For example the SEAL teams which exist now.
Lehr-Regiment Brandenburg z.b.V. 800. Literally - 800th Reserve Regiment Brandenburg.
Elite special forces unit, highly skilled and trained (focuses on foreign languages, small unit tactics, parachuting, demolitions, covert operations, use of vehicles and aircraft and familiarity with enemy weapons).
