Unteroffizier(e) mit Portepee, also Portepeeunteroffizier(e) (en: NCO(s) with sword knot" also "Sword knot NCO(s)"), is the designation for German senior NCO in the Armed forces of Germany. The name derives from earlier traditions in which senior enlisted men would carry a sword into battle. The word ''portepee'' derives from French ''port''(e)-''épée''. Any ''Portepeeunteroffizier'' of the former Prussian Army was entitled to wear (in addition to the to dress uniform - to go with a ...) a "sword knot" to its personal sabre, which was originally restricted to officers only.〔BROCKHAUS, Die Enzyklopädie in 24 Bänden (1796–2001), Band 5: 3-7653-3665-3, S. 488〕 The sequence of ranks (top-down approach) in that particular group is as follows: *OR-9: Oberstabsfeldwebel / Oberstabsbootsmann this rank was introduced by the Bundeswehr in 1983 *OR-8: Stabsfeldwebel / ''Stabsbootsmann'' (in the Kriegsmarine ''Stabsoberbootsmann'', ''Stabsobersteuermann'', and ''Stabsobermaschinist'') *OR-7: Hauptfeldwebel (Oberfähnrich)/ ''Hauptbootsmann'' (Oberfähnrich zur See), this rank was introduced by the Bundeswehr after being an assignment/ position of service (informally ''Spieß'' and officially now Kompaniefeldwebel in the Reichswehr, Wehrmacht, and National People's Army) *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"''! ;See also: ⇒ Article: NCOs without portepee ⇒ Article: Ranks of the German Bundeswehr ⇒ Article: Rank insignia of the German Bundeswehr ⇒ Article: Ranks and insignia of NATO navies enlisted And equivalents of the Navy—replacing ''Feldwebel'' with ''Bootsmann''—and, historically, the Cavalry and Artillery (with ''Wachtmeister''). The latter is not to be confused with the Navy's "Kompaniefeldwebel" of today which are also called Wachtmeister. German non-commissioned officers were identified by the use of metallic lace (called ''Tresse'') on the collar of the uniform jacket, as well as the edges of the shoulder straps. Senior non-commissioned officers in the Wehrmacht also used silver "stars" on the shoulder strap to differentiate between ranks; one star for a Feldwebel, two for an Oberfeldwebel, and three for a Stabsfeldwebel. == Table of Portepee-ranks == 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「Unteroffiziere mit Portepee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
