The Leibstandarte, which started out as Hitler's personal bodyguard, was considered the elite within the elite of the SS. Even before the war broke out in September , the Leibstandarte had started to expand and take on more and more military duties in addition to its representational function in guarding the Führer at the Reich chancellery, at his mountain retreat in Austria, or on his travels and parades. It participated in the occupation of the Sudetenland and then the rest of Czechoslovakia and the annexation of Austria.

Unfortunately for many of these Canadians, their capture led to them being murdered in cold blood.
The 12th SS Panzer Division was made up of Hitler Youth members, aged seventeen to nineteen years old, as well as battle-hardened officers and non-commissioned officers (NCOs) from the 1st SS Panzer Division (LeibstandarteAdolf Hitler).
