At the close of the campaign, Hitler expressed his pleasure with the performance of the SS-Leibstandarte, telling them: "Henceforth it will be an honor for you, who bear my name, to lead every German attack."[133] The SS-VT was renamed the Waffen-SS in a speech made by Hitler in July 1940.[104] Hitler then authorized the enlistment of "people perceived to be of related stock", as Himmler put it, to expand the ranks.[134] Danes, Dutch, Norwegians, Swedes, and Finns volunteered to fight in the Waffen-SS under the command of German officers.[135] They were brought together to form the new division SS-Wiking.[134] In January 1941, the SS-Verfügungs Division was renamed SS-Reich Division (Motorized), and was renamed as the 2nd SS Panzer Division Das Reich when it was reorganized as a Panzergrenadier division in 1942.[136]
