While it is awsome to have 'Terror Grenadiers' instead of a regular Grenadiers, I somewhat wanted to make something different out of it.

Why not- instead of a 'Terror' Grenadier name it a SS Grenadier?

While I understand that not everyone might like it, but thinking that it is after all just a SS Grenadier a regular Grenadier with a different name on it for 'coolness' effect.

Like Canadian Rifles for Royal Canadian Artillery.

Terror gets their own SS troops.

What would the community say?

Applies to Terror Volks too.

Heck whole army could be named "SS" <Unit>

Dafuq man, don't ask for proof if you'll refuse it if it's not in your favor, logic fallacy for the bloody win.

Yet most of the skinpacks carry Waffen SS symbols and plates for vehicles so who minds.

Take an example of Close Combat Series. It has waffen SS teams in it yet Germans like to play it. SS by itself is nothing but a elite squad units. And in my suggestion this SS is exactly the Waffen SS one without the Waffen, but it could be as well "Waffen SS Grenadier" or "Waffen SS Volksgrenadier"

I actually know the difference between SS and Wehrmacht thank you very much. But this is not political, just a name change suggestion. The end

I think NightRain means for the name change to reflect the Fanaticism of the troops rather then their professionalism.

Because "terror grenadiers" sounds so much more realistic and logical than "SS grenadiers", right?

then they would need to be named as "werwolf" grenadier or something stupid since the SS was no institution i would rely to nowadays terrorists

and its not about realism

relic even included a "SS faction" known as Panzer Elite
even when they say its supposed to be the Panzerdivision Lehr they even use translated SS rank names

but anyways i don't get why there should be such a bullshit naming in EIR
to name them terror grenadier is probably needed because of some doctrine abilities that just work with a seperate unit

no need to do further naming bullshit

This is kinda what I had in my mind- similar I mean.

As people can see there are some names that are not marked as "SS" and they are Regular Wehrmacht units

Anyway, they were named Terror Grenadiers for coding reasons.

Would you really like to have them named after the concentration camp guards? The SS-Totenkopfverbände was the part of the SS that ran the concentration camps, and the Totenkopf Division got that name because it originally consisted of soldiers recruited from the SS-TV.

For once I'm with BigDick here. What's with this idolization of SS soldiers? Even taking into account "winner's justice" and scapegoating, there's still a good reason why the SS ended up condemned in Nuremberg as a criminal organization. As for their fighting prowess, as the military arm of a political party, they could be expected to be more ideologically motivated (or fanatical) than the Wehrmacht, but not necessarily more able. Generally there was also a lot of variation within the organization, and quality sank as the war progressed and recruiting became more desperate.

It was at no point my intention Immanio. And I'll restrict myself from participating in any threads like this in the future.

Again i'm sorry if i caused any inconvenience.
