schutz - meaning defense + staffel - meaning echelon.
An elite corps of combat troops (SS is short for Schutzstaffel, which is German for “protective shield”) formed originally within the German Nazi party as a bodyguard for Adolf Hitler and other Nazi leaders and led by Heinrich Himmler. During the 1930s, Hitler steadily expanded the responsibilities of the SS to include the suppression of his political opponents within Germany and the persecution of the Jews. The SS supervised the concentration camps.
when you pronounce it it will sound like -
shootz + staffle.usually in the German language the sch is pronounced as sho and not scu.
i hope i was of some help to you.

Pronounce it just as it is spelled. Or say SS for short.
P.S. If I were to fart could you smell it through your computer speakers?
