Michael Dorosh Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 Stoffel is incorrect - hsf is Hauptsturmführer, which is equivalent to a Hauptmann in the Heer or a captain in the British/Canadian armies. A Major of the SS is called a Sturmbannführer. Majors are battalion commanders in CM, not company commanders. This doesn't echo real life practice, incidentally, but ranks were rather fluid in the German Army; a Leutnant could conceivably (and in at least one instance actually did) command a Regiment if casualties were heavy enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denwad Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 then it goes to obersturmführer for platoon level and untersturmführer for squad level and then rottenführer for team level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob A better "conversion" table for enlisted ranks is at my site at http://members.shaw.ca/madorosh/table.htm Most of the German enlisted ranks have no correspondence whatsoever to the English ranks listed on that page; certainly the responsibilities of the so-called equivalents listed there were much different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't the squad level leader an unterscharfuhrer? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
