Waffen - SS were more resilient because of the stronger indoctrination they received. Since they are derived from the SA ( sturmabteilung) which is the military wing of the political party, SS-Divison put more emphasis on politics and indoctrination. The reason they were often more effective then their Whermacht kameraden is because they kept on fighting, often reluctant to retreat. Therefore, they suffered heavier casualities compared to "normal" divisions. Whether they are considered as Elite I don't know. They were considered better trained because they represented the finest the Third Reich had to offer in terms of fighting power en true belief in the good cause of Lebensraum. This made them more ferocious when fighting untermenschen because they believed themselves to be God's chosen warriors, this is represented in the Gott Mitt Uns belief stated by Hitler himself. Regarding numbers, they certainly grow during the war because as stated, the requirements dropped significantly. They were a force to be reckonned with.
(note of importance : I only want to discuss their fighting capabilities, political BS is out of the question.)

Assgrens aren't that fearsome imo, they are easily countered by penals, shocks (just shred them to bits) snipers and maxim/mortars.
