Never on the same scale as the Waffen-SS.

Yes - to clarify, I wasn't disagreeing with anything I replied to.

I broadly assume "command" knows about shit happening, it's too many purely logistic things to just slip by (especially when whole units are involved). However I also assume that command (and historically later commands) decides if they know/knew about it (unless there is direct evidence they knew about it or ordered it).
