''Hauptfeldwebel '' (HptFw or HF) is the third highest Non-commissioned officer (NCO) rank in German Heer and Luftwaffe.〔BROCKHAUS, The encyclopedia in 24 volumes (1796–2001), Volume 7: 3-7653-3676-9, page 185〕 It is grouped as OR7 in NATO, equivalent to a US Army Sergeant 1st Class, US Marine Gunnery Sergeant, or US Air Force Master Sergeant, and to Warrant Officer Class 2 in the British Army and Royal Navy. In army/ air force context NCOs of this rank were formally addressed as ''Herr Hauptfeldwebel'' also informally / short ''Hauptfeld''. The sequence of ranks (top-down approach) in that particular group (''Senior NCOs with portepee'') is as follows: *OR-9: Oberstabsfeldwebel / Oberstabsbootsmann *OR-8: Stabsfeldwebel / Stabsbootsmann *OR-7: Hauptfeldwebel / Hauptbootsmann *OR-6a: Oberfeldwebel / Oberbootsmann *OR-6b: Feldwebel / Bootsmann ;Remark: The abbreviation "OR" stands for ''"Other Ranks / fr: sous-officiers et militaires du rang / ru:другие ранги, кроме офицероф"''! ==History== The Hauptfeldwebel was introduced by the German Wehrmacht in 1938 not as a military rank but as the assignment to “company sergeant (de: Kompaniefeldwebel or Spiess). Most experienced Protégée-NCO with the rank Stabsfeldwebel or Oberfeldwebel (more seldom Feldwebel) have been assigned to that distinguished position. The assignment Spiess/Hauptfeldwebel, equivalent to the company sergeant major in Anglo-phonic armed forces, has been used before in the GDR National People's Army from 1956 until 1990 as well. The equivalent assignment to the company sergeant major in the Waffen-SS was the SS-Stabsscharführer from 1938 until 1945 . 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「Hauptfeldwebel (rank)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
