Meine Ehre heisst Treue (letter size matters in Germany)

What do understand under the name Allg.SS. Do you leave out the SS-VT, Waffen-SS? Or do you include also like the SS-VT into the name Allg.SS?

Also give the book to at least two native German speakers for proof reading. If quouting german sources and making quotes. I could be on of them - native German.
