Der Tag Meaning Shifts Under War Strain Across Germany
London dispatch notes that since September 1 1939 the phrase Der Tag has shifted from a Nazi conquest fantasy to the moment Die Waffen SS acts to uphold the regime. It describes the SS as an army of about 500000, with four armored divisions, four motorized divisions, and ties to the regular army, with Himmler controlling a vast policing and terror network. It also profiles SS leaders and discusses their place in German military and political power during wartime.
