Rank articles complete

edit

I'm pleased to announce that the ranks in this article now have links to associated articles on every rank of the SA. -Husnock 30Jan05

Is the "Army equivalent" column supposed to reflect the Heer, or US/UK equivalents? either way, then the general-officer ranks are a step off due to Oberfuhrer. Solicitr (talk) 23:22, 11 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Ranks of Sturmbannführer and Obersturmbannführer

edit

According to an article on the Flags of the World website (the URL is [1]), a Sturmbann was a battalion in the S.A. Hence, perhaps it would be more appropriate to translate the names of these ranks into English as "Battalion Leader" and "Senior Battalion Leader". -Christopher Crossley, 12.07 (UTC), 22 August 2005

Please see: Talk:Ranks and insignia of the Schutzstaffel for the answer to that question. -Husnock 15:43, 22 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

SA, SS, and Waffen SS

edit

Where the ranks of the SA, SS, and Waffen SS essentially the same?

Insignia Pictures

edit

Most of the pictures appear to have gutted from this article. I would like to start a project to get back. Suggestion on how to do this? -OberRanks (talk) 22:54, 8 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Rank equivalents

edit

General-officer ranks in the Wehrmacht Heer were one notch lower than the cognate-named US/UK ranks. When the Bundeswehr was formed they kicked them each up a level, creating the new rank Brigadegeneral and retiring Generaloberst to bring the structure into line with NATO.--Solicitr (talk) 20:34, 10 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Completely agree. One point of confusion revolves around that the SA had no equivalent to Oberstgruppenfuhrer. I updated the chart to reflect this. Also, within a week or two I should have an actual insignia chart for the final post 1934 rank insignia patches. -OberRanks (talk) 21:03, 10 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Merge notice

edit

The article appears to be a duplicate of Uniforms and insignia of the Sturmabteilung. We should merge. -OberRanks (talk) 21:09, 23 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

SA headgear

edit

It was no képi. Making and outlook is different, as can be seen. The German term for this type of headgear is de:Schaftmütze --2001:A61:2B09:B901:6830:5A63:8FA5:8EDE (talk) 10:04, 8 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
