In the alternate-reality Amazon series The Man in the High Castle, the Axis powers won WW2 and set up their division of America into the Greater Nazi Reich shortly after their victory over the allies. The GNR revamped the Schutzstaffel, or SS, into the main security force of their territory. Based in Germany, these men worked to protect the German high command from any threats mainly in the Volkshalle. These soldiers were usually equipped with only a sidearm.
