Since some people seem to be confused about Nazi officer ranks and what not, I thought I'd clarify for folks wanting to take on a character but not knowing what the English term is in German Nazi language...
A good place to go is to this wiki site:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranks_and_insignia_of_the_Sturmabteilung
Look under 1932-1945 for the time period this board is under.
For those of you too lazy to look:
SA RANK Translation Army Equivalent
Obergruppenführer Senior Group Leader General
Gruppenführer Group Leader Lieutenant General
Brigadeführer Brigade Leader Major General
Oberführer Senior Leader Brigadier General
Standartenführer Regiment Leader Colonel
Obersturmbannführer Senior Storm Unit Leader Lieutenant Colonel
Sturmbannführer Storm Unit Leader Major
Sturmhauptführer Chief Storm Leader Captain
Obersturmführer Senior Storm Leader First Lieutenant
Sturmführer Storm Leader Second Lieutenant
Haupttruppführer Chief Troop Leader Sergeant Major
Obertruppführer Senior Troop Leader Master Sergeant
Truppführer Troop Leader Sergeant First Class
Oberscharführer Senior Squad Leader Staff Sergeant
Scharführer Squad Leader Sergeant
Rottenführer Section Leader Corporal
Sturmmann Storm Trooper Lance-Corporal/Private First Class
Mann Trooper Private
Now our current Nazi characters go in this order from 1 being highest rank we have and so on
1. Ludwig Strasser - Grupenfuhrer - Lieutenant General
2. Diedrich Edselvine - Oberfuhrer - Brigadier General
3. Hans Landa - Standartenführer - Colonel
4. Anton Ulrich Faust - Obersturmfuhrer - Lieutenant Colonel
There is absolutely more than one rank, of course, the higher in rank you go, the fewer there are, so keep that in mind. It's really just like average military rank. Also keep in mind that if you want a chance at Hitler's inner circle, from what I know, there were his friends and then Oberfuhrers and above, since his inner circle was for the elite only.
