• SS Long Service Award: A printed tile representing a medal with a blue ribbon and the SS runes, awarded for extended years of service.

Historical Background: The Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler (LSSAH) originated as Adolf Hitler’s personal bodyguard unit. It later grew into an elite, division-sized combat formation within the Waffen-SS. The LSSAH had a dual role: it was both a fanatical frontline fighting force and the premier ceremonial unit of the Third Reich. In their immaculate black parade uniforms, members of the Leibstandarte performed guard duties at the Reich Chancellery in Berlin and other significant locations, and participated in the massive Nuremberg Rallies. They were intended to be the physical embodiment of the Nazi ideal and became one of the most powerful and infamous symbols of the regime.
