''SS-Anwärter'' is a German title which translates as “candidate”. During the Third Reich, ''Anwärter/SS-Anwärter'' was used as a paramilitary rank by both the NSDAP and the SS. Within the Nazi Party, an ''Anwärter'' was someone who had been accepted into a government service position and the rank was issued in two degrees: one for party members and the other for non-party members. ''Anwärter'' was the lowest Nazi Party rank in a complex and extensive system of Nazi Party political ranks leading up to such positions as ''Gauleiter'' and ''Reichsleiter''. As an SS rank, an ''SS-Anwärter'' was someone who had applied for membership in the SS and was undergoing a probationary period, after which time an appointment would be issued to the rank of ''SS-Mann''. The earliest recorded use of ''Anwärter'' as an SS rank was 1932; however, the rank was used as title dating back to 1925. Within the ''Allgemeine-SS'', the transition from ''Anwärter'' to ''Mann'' was an extensive process, typically taking over one year. During that year, a potential SS member would be drilled and indoctrinated; racial, political, and background checks would also be conducted. At the end of this time, typically in an elaborate ceremony, an ''Anwärter'' would be promoted to the rank of ''SS-Mann''. After 1941, ''Anwärter'' was also used as a rank of the ''Waffen-SS'', but to a much lesser degree than in the general SS. A ''Waffen-SS'' ''Anwärter'' was usually a recruit who had been processed into the SS (typically at a recruiting station), but had yet to report for basic training. Once basic training began, the ''Anwärter'' was unceremoniously promoted to the rank of ''SS-Schütze''. Between 1942 and 1945, an even lower rank existed within the SS known as ''Bewerber''. The SS was the only Nazi paramilitary group to have a rank lower than that of ''Anwärter''. The SS rank of ''Anwärter'' used no insignia; however, the Nazi Party rank displayed a bare collar tab with eagle and swastika pin issued for those ''Anwärters'' who were already Nazi party members. In modern-day Germany, the title of ''Anwärter'' is typically used by those applying for employment and also as a designation for members of the ''Bundeswehr'' who are under consideration for a leadership assignment. == Notes == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anwärter」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
