Yuri Geifman Jun 11, 2007:
In the post-war period, members of the (former?) SS and Nazis have been trying to restore Nazi methods of anti-Soviet hysteria.

If this is after the war, shouldn't they be 'former' SS?
Mark Vaintroub Jun 10, 2007:
Я всё-таки думаю, что речь идет не о конкретных эсэсовцах, а об организации в целом. Это примерно то же самое, что police / policemen. В обоих случаях речь идет о полиции, но при обобщении говорят "police".

Это обощение, поэтому обобщенный термин вполне должен подойти
