Totalitarian states are very good at keeping secrets.

From what I know about the military SS at least during the early parts of the war they were excellent fighting units. I know towards the end they started filling their ranks with criminals.
There were SS units of exceptional fighting ability. But ther were also other units much less so. And they had started filling the ranks with criminals in some of the units long before the latter stages of the war.
