I'm not sure."Meine Ehre heisst Treue" was the motto of all of SS, and the Waffen-SS's oath of allegiance as well.However, I have sometimes heard the Waffen-SS's motto was "Den Tod geben und den Tod empfangen." (=to give death and to receive death)
only-solorose : Just out of curiosity, how would you call it?
(since you said "as you call it"

There was a big difference between the Waffen - SS and the rest of the SS organization. For the most part, the SS proper was engaged in State Security, Police, and bodyguard activities for Hitler. The Waffen - SS, on the the other hand was an elite military corps. "Waffen" means "armed".
The Waffen - SS fought with great distinction on all fronts. When an allied unit came up against a Waffen - SS unit, they knewe they were in for a real fight. Their greatest achievements came on the Easter Front, against the communists of Russia. They consistently were victors of battles despite being outnumbered three, or five to one. Finally, it is interesting to note that there were a multitude of non -german nations represented in the Waffen -SS, each with their own unique cultural designations.
These included Belgian, French, Norwegian, Danish, Ukrainian, Albanians from Kosovo, Serbian, Croatian, Turkic, Caucasian, Cossack, and Tatar units. The Ukrainians and the Tatars had both suffered persecution under Joseph Stalin and they were likely motivated primarily by opposition to the Soviet government rather than genuine ideological agreement with the SS. The exiled Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Hajj Amin al-Husayni, used anti-Semitism and anti-Serb racism to recruit an entire Waffen-SS division of Bosnian Muslims, the 13th SS Division "Handschar" (Scimitar).[61] The year-long Soviet occupation of the Baltic states at the beginning of World War II produced volunteers for Latvian and Estonian Waffen-SS units
