''Hauptscharführer'' was a Nazi paramilitary rank which was used by the ''Schutzstaffel'' (SS) between the years of 1934 and 1945. The rank was the highest enlisted rank of the SS, with the exception of the special Waffen-SS rank of ''Sturmscharführer''. Translated as "head (or chief) squad leader", ''Hauptscharführer'' became an SS rank after a reorganization of the SS following the Night of the Long Knives. The first use of ''Hauptscharführer'' was in June 1934 when the rank replaced the older SA title of ''Obertruppführer''. Within the ''Allgemeine-SS'' (general-SS), a ''Hauptscharführer'' was typically the head SS-non-commissioned officer of an ''SS-Sturm'' (company) or was a rank used by enlisted staff personnel assigned to an SS headquarters office or security agency (such as the Gestapo and ''Sicherheitsdienst''; SD). The rank of ''Hauptscharführer'' was also commonly used in the concentration camp service and could also be found as a rank of the ''Einsatzgruppen''. The rank of SS-''Hauptscharführer'' was senior to SS-''Oberscharführer'' and junior to SS-''Sturmscharführer'', except in the General-SS where ''Hauptscharführer'' was immediately junior to rank of SS-''Untersturmführer''. In the Waffen-SS, ''Hauptscharführer'' was a rank bestowed upon company and battalion non-commissioned officers and was considered the second highest enlisted rank, below that of ''Sturmscharführer''. Those holding the Waffen-SS rank of ''Hauptscharführer'' were typically also granted the title of ''Stabsscharführer'', which was an appointment held by the senior SS non-commissioned officer of a company, battalion, or regiment. The insignia for ''Hauptscharführer'' was two silver pips, with a silver stripe centred on a black collar patch. On field grey uniforms, the rank was worn with silver collar piping and the ''Wehrmacht'' shoulder boards of an ''Oberfeldwebel''. ; Insignia of rank ''Hauptschaführer'' of the Waffen-SS: File: WSS OR7 HScharf-SSTV.jpg |Shoulder strap SS-Hauptscharführe (SS-Standartenoberjunker) File: SS-Hauptscharführer.svg |Gorget patches File: ObFW cam slv.gif |Military camouflage ==See also== * 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「Hauptscharführer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
