Hello Susie,
yes, there is. Since the SS was the armed branch of the nazi party 
NSDAP, SS-men are listed in the former Berlin Document Center:

    11 million record cards (90 percent) of the former NSDAP,
    about 600.000 record cards (60 percent) personal files of the SS,
    240.000 files of 'Main Department of Race and Settlement' (Rasse-
    und Siedlungs-Hauptamt) of the SS,
    1.3 million party correspondences,
    several 100 thousands personal files of the SA, the NS-Teacher
    Alliance (NS-Lehrerbund, the NS-Alliance of German Technicians (NS
    Bund Deutscher Techniker) and other NS organisations,
    information on over 2.5 million Volksdeutsche,
    Files of the Reich Chamber of Culture & Music, the Volksgerichtshof
    and of Gestapo offices.
