Hi Witzland,
Waffen-SS units played no indispensable role in any of Germany's major victories and won none themselves.
They effectively awarded medals to themselves on their own recommendations.
The Eastern Front was an ideological war. No wonder the Russians laid particular emphasis on the fate of divisions with names like "Liebstandarte Adolf Hitler", "Das Reich", etc.
Cheers,
Sid.
