Does anyone know exactly which Waffen SS divisions are considered elite? The manual doesn't spell this out as far as I can tell.

My own guess would be 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 9th and 10th Panzer.

Two ways. First, go to the Unit List, and you'll see a column for "ELITE". SS Elite are marked "SSE"

You can also tell by color; all-black = Elite. Half Black, Half Grey = Non-Elite

It is those units you identified, plus 12ss. Also, the SS Panzer units (Tiger BN) are elite.

AFAIR all SS Panzer Divs and their predecessors, the already named SS hvy Pz Bns, some HQs and a small part of foot/motorized infantry.

Are regular army heavy Tank Battalions elite - I only have one it does have 98 morale after a few fights - so I assume so.

It appears at least some of them are, if not all of them. Go to the Commanders Report screen and look at the E/G column. E, LWE and SSE all means elite.

I was shocked to see one of the Romanian divisions was considered elite. LOL
