''SS-Sturmscharführer'' was a Nazi rank of the ''Waffen-SS'' that existed between 1934 and 1945. The rank was the most senior enlisted rank in the ''Waffen-SS'', the equivalent of a regimental sergeant major, or senior warrant officer in other military organizations.''Sturmscharführer'' was unique to the ''Waffen-SS'' and was not used in the regular SS (the ''Allgemeine-SS''), where the highest enlisted rank was ''Hauptscharführer''. The rank of ''Sturmscharführer'' was first created in June 1934, after the Night of the Long Knives. Due to a reorganization of the SS, ''Sturmscharführer'' was created as the most senior enlisted rank of the ''SS-Verfügungstruppe'', replacing the older ''Sturmabteilung'' (SA) title of ''Haupttruppführer''. By 1941, the ''Waffen-SS'' had become the successor organization to the ''SS-Verfügungstruppe'' and ''Sturmscharführer'' was established as the most senior enlisted rank. A ''Sturmscharführer'' was typically assigned as the head sergeant of an entire regiment or, in some cases, an infantry division. ''Sturmscharführer'' was not the same as ''Stabsscharführer'', which was a positional title given to the head SS non-commissioned officer of a company. The rank of ''Sturmscharführer'' was also not a prerequisite for promotion to ''Untersturmführer'' and was generally considered as a rank for “career” enlisted SS soldiers, rather than a rank on the path to becoming an officer. The insignia for ''Sturmscharführer'' was two silver pips and two silver stripes worn on a collar patch along with the shoulder boards of a ''Wehrmacht Stabsfeldwebel''. As was the case with ''Waffen-SS'' enlisted insignia, the collar patch of a ''Sturmscharführer'' was edged with black-and-silver twist cord until 1940 when the edging was dropped; like all non-commissioned officers the collar was bordered with 9mm silver-grey braid. ; Insignia of rank ''SS-Sturmschaführer'' of the Waffen-SS: File: SS OR8 StuScharf-SD.jpg |Shoulder strap File: SS-Sturmscharführer.svg |Gorget patches File: StFW 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「Sturmscharführer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
