A book worth reading:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0764304836/002-6399057-4773616?v=glance&n=2831

"The Cruel Hunters: Ss-Sonderkommando Dirlewanger Hitler's Most
Notorious Anti-Partisan Unit"

Maybe they could even get round to issueing rings such as :

http://www.third-reich-books.com/waffen-ss.htm

"BOTOM Row, Left to Right: Item #RG-103 SS Anti-Partisan Honour Ring
(large skull in center)."

The SS specialized in "anti-partisan activities" in part because
they mostly agreed with Gary B (as one might expect) wrt there being no
rules where "illegal combatants" were concerned.

However post war it turned out there were rules wrt "illegal combatants"
& oddly numbers got imprisoned or hung.
