    It was widely known that the Waffen SS would indiscriminately carry out genocide and other war crimes. This is why the chances of an SS soldier being taken prisoner was quite low. They would take them as far as the nearest wall or ditch and shoot them, or torch them and let them burn. It probably wasn't a shock to those who saw what the SS did that they had deathcamps, but I'm not sure of the exact date when someone outside of the German military specifically knew of their existence.
