Your thinking of Gebirgsjäger Mate.
Gebirgsjägers (Mountain Hunters) with their Edelweiss flower insignia were definitely highly trained Elite soldiers, but they were considered to be Regular troops with very specialized skills, not Special Forces.
I believe that the nearest thing the Germans had to Special Forces was the SS-Jäger Battalion 502, commanded by Obersturmbannführer Otto Skorzeny.
Skorzeny and his men were responsible for a variety of German Special Operations missions.
