Later there were SS-Freiwilligenverbände (volunteers) from several occupied countries (e.g. SS Division Nordland, formed from Norwegian, Danish and Baltic volunteers), an SS-Hitlerjugend division (enlisted ranks were volunteers from the Hitlerjugend - Hitler Youth), an SS-Totenkopf Division (formed from concentration camps guards).
Until 1944, service in the Waffen-SS was voluntary. Beginning then, whole units were assigned to the Waffen-SS.
