JUNKER DER WAFFEN SS  (1943)
1943 documentary film put out in Nazi Germany was meant to provide a brief introduction to the public about the training of the Waffen SS and no doubt served as a means of recruiting new men into the service. 
 
Unsharp, but watchable film quality.  The film is in German with switchable English subtitles.  Total duration:  15 minutes.
 
 
FINNISH VOLUNTEERS IN THE WAFFEN SS
This undated film shows Finnish volunteers from their taking the oath to join the Waffen SS to their march past before reviewing stands to inspections by senior officers. 
 
For the most part, the film quality is outstandingly good.  The film has no dialogue; German military music plays in the background (including, appropriately enough, Der Marsch der finnischen Reiterei).  Total duration:  6 minutes.
