After World War II began, the lines between the "Allgemeine SS" and the Waffen-SS became increasingly blurred, due largely to the "Allgemeine SS" headquarters offices having administrative and supply command over the Waffen-SS. By 1940, all of the "Allgemeine SS" had been issued grey war-time uniforms. Himmler ordered that the all-black uniforms be turned in for use by others. They were sent east where they were used by auxiliary police units and west to be used by Germanic-SS units such as the ones in the Netherlands and Denmark.
