Big difference in the during the war and after war was over. Huge difference.

And although there were stories as you said and I have been told of them too, but I have never seen this in writing... That said, SS troops were treated differently than other german soldiers I have always been told.

But during war and after the cessation of hostilities are two big differences in how things were carried out on either side.
