The SS-Begleitkommando des Führers (literally: "SS Commando assigned to accompany the Führer") was a bodyguard team of SS soldiers tasked with protecting the life of Adolf Hitler during the time of Nazi Germany. Formed on 29 February 1932, the original unit contained eight men, Franz Schädle, Bruno Gesche, Erich Kempka, August Körber, Adolf Dirr, Kurt Gildisch, Willy Herzberger, and Bodo Gelzenleuchter, all of whom were personally approved by Hitler. It was replaced by the Führerschutzkommando in 1934.
