Haupttruppführer was a Nazi Party paramilitary rank that existed between the years of 1930 and 1945. ''Haupttruppführer'' was mainly used as a rank of the ''Sturmabteilung'' (SA), but was also used by the ''Schutzstaffel'' (SS) in the early days of that group’s existence. As an SA rank, ''Haupttruppführer'' was created from the much older ''Freikorps'' title of ''Truppführer''. ''Haupttruppführer'' was considered a senior most paramilitary enlisted rank, below the first officer position of ''Sturmführer''. A ''Haupttruppführer'' typically served as the senior non-commissioned officer of SA regiments, known as ''Standarten'', and the rank was the approximate equivalent to sergeant major. ''Haupttruppführer'' translated as "head troop leader" and was considered senior to the rank of ''Obertruppführer''. Between 1930 and 1934, ''Haupttruppführer'' was also used as a rank of the SS and was held by senior SS non-commissioned officers much the same as the position was used within the SA. In 1934, ''Haupttruppführer'' was abolished as an SS rank and renamed as ''SS-Sturmscharführer''. The original insignia for ''Haupttruppführer'' consisted of two collar pips and a silver stripe, centered on a collar patch. After 1932, due to an expansion of both the SA and SS rank system, the insignia was modified to display two silver stripes. Some early Nazi records also refer to the rank as ''Trupphauptführer''. ==See also== * Comparative ranks of Nazi Germany 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「Haupttruppführer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
