The 11th SS-Standarte was a large regimental formation of the Allgemeine-SS and the principal mustering SS unit in Austria.
During this period in the 1930s, one notable member of the 11th SS-Standarate was Amon Göth who would later join the German Concentration Camp service and be immortalized in the film Schindler's List.
When World War II began, most members of the 11th SS-Standarte transferred into the Waffen-SS.
A small core of Allgemeine-SS personnel remained in Austria, but as the war progressed there were less and less formal functions performed by the 11th SS-Standarte.
The unit effectively existed on paper only after 1944, but was listed as having a posted commander until the fall of Nazi Germany in 1945.
