''SS-Brigadeführer'' was an SS rank that was used in Nazi Germany between the years of 1932 and 1945. ''Brigadeführer'' was also an SA rank. The rank was first created due to an expansion of the SS and assigned to those officers in command of ''SS-Brigaden''. In 1933, the ''SS-Brigaden'' were changed in name to ''SS-Abschnitte''; however, the rank of ''Brigadeführer'' remained the same. Originally, ''Brigadeführer'' was considered the second general officer rank of the SS and ranked between ''Oberführer'' and ''Gruppenführer''. This changed with the rise of the ''Waffen-SS'' and the ''Ordnungspolizei''. In both of those organizations, ''Brigadeführer'' was the equivalent to a ''Generalmajor'' and ranked above an ''Oberst'' in the German ''Wehrmacht'' or police. Note that the rank of ''Generalmajor'' was the equivalent of brigadier general, a one-star general in the US Army. The insignia for ''Brigadeführer'' was at first two oak leaves and a silver pip, however was changed in April 1942 to a three oak leaf design after the creation of the rank ''SS-Oberst-Gruppenführer''. ''Brigadeführer'' in the ''Waffen-SS'' or police also wore the shoulder insignia of a ''Generalmajor'' and were referred to as such after their SS rank (e.g. ''SS-Brigadeführer und Generalmajor der Waffen-SS und Polizei''). ; Insignia of rank of ''Brigadeführer and Generalmajor of the Waffen-SS'': WSS OF6 Brif.jpg|Shoulder mark HH-SS-Brigadefuhrer-Collar.png|Collar patches after April 1942 Genm-brgf.png |Insignia on camouflage uniform == See also == * Corps colours (Waffen-SS) * Table of ranks and insignia of the Waffen-SS 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「Brigadeführer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
