All ranks of the German Nazi army

[@christopherwood9009]

Gefreiter ranks were NOT corporals, despite the chevrons' resemblance. Though any rank could be the second in command (usually an Ober- or Stabsgefreiter acting as a Lance Corporal of sorts) of a section, commanded by an Unteroffizier (Corporal, as a rank).
You are correct in respect to the Unter- and Feldwebel ranks being Under/Sub-Sergeant and Sergeant; however Oberfeldwebel is Senior Sergeant, Stabsfeldwebel is Staff Sergeant. There was also a Hauptfeldwebel between these two ranks, though this was an appointment, not a rank.
Leutnant, though is translated as Lieutenant, actually equates to 2nd Lieutenant. Oberleutnant being Senior Lieutenant, though equating to Lieutenant. Hauptmann, though equating to Captain, is translated as "Head-man".
Generalmajor, though translating to Major General, actually equates to Brigadier (General); Generalleutnant, though translating to Lieutenant General, equates to Major General; General der Waffengattung (or just "General"), though translating to General, equating to Lieutenant General; Generaloberst, though translating to "Colonel General", equates to General.
Finally, Generalfeldmarschall translated to General Field Marshal.

also to note is that there where only 2 officers in a german Company
There would be 5 in an american one
This is because there is only one haubtmann in command of the whole unit (instaid of the us where its a captain and a lieutnant)
and the only 1 the First platoon in the unit is lead by a lieutnant the rest are Led by feldwebel

For the mountain troops you forgot to spell it Jäger! But still great video and awesome job.

[@HandGrenadeDivision]

a common error, but the green of the mountain troops and the green of mechanized troops has been transposed in this video.

[@jean-louisdubois61]

Forgot also pink color, for the panzer troops.....

[@davidschick6951]

You used different ranks in the cover image than in the video.

[@welcome3933]

Very interesting. How about the ranks in Luftwaffe and The Navy and U-boot during World War-2.
Thank you very much.

[@darkwood777]

The timing is messed up for the slides in the middle.

[@Macinatorecazzaro]

All the shoulder straps shown in tnis video can have a different color based on waffenfarbe?
Starting by lowest rank to the heighest?

[@electroagario9928]

wow how havent u git thouands of subs xD

[@kinuux]

I see a great job dude, if you don't mind a real image of a soldier matching that rank & the nazi leaders ranks would be appreciated & thank you, you amaze us

[@coolstorybro_cant_wait_4_movie]

Shutze was changed to grenadier in 1943

[@Eduardo-mx4xp]

Excelente video!!

[@russbooth6766]

This is wrong. The ranks of Gefreiter and Obergefreiter etc are not corporal grades. Treat the Heer Ranks (Not the German Nazi Army which is bad english) as its down seperate entity.

[@ericshelly2518]

Missed Stabsgefreiter

[@General-History101]

i probably wouldn't refer to the German Heer as the "German Nazi Army" as it implies all soldiers who fought strongly believed in the cause but thats simply ofc not the case.

[@charles5895]

It’s the same if I said Capitalist soldiers instead of saying American soldiers. Or Communist soldiers instead of Soviet soldiers.

[@lordjakob7052]

@@charles5895 they where communist soldiers
They fought for a communist regime

[@fabianfuchs1402]

You missed Lieutenant General 🤔

[@kennygottlieb3628]

No he missed reichsmarschalle

[@funkychunkgaming9738]

The German army ranks where not the same as US or British ranks so a Gerfrieter is not equal to a Corporal

[@imerianimeria9408]

Heroje sude.Što je danas ponosna nacija.Njemac je biti božji blagoslov.Nema danas Vi ste pošli u gospodu nećete da zasušeze rukave.Sttanci Vam rade poput mene.Izgubili ste nade in Germani.Vi ste bili poseban narod u božjem ❤.

[@FD_Stalker]

Imagine enlisted in 1939 and only get " 6 years in army" corporal in 1945...

Is there any resource that explains the differences in the collar tabs for the various ranks?

[@EBEFanclub1]

You missed the highest rank
„Reichsmarschall des großdeutschen Reiches“

[@robowisanveithasung6022]

well it would be added in if it was about the Wehrmacht all together. this is about the Heer so it's not included

[@cyrildewaha]

So there is non-commissioned Officer but not Officer? That's weird

[@bigmoniesponge]

Officers start at Lieutenant.

[@HistoryUnveiled92]

There were 3 branches of the Wehrmacht, and then the SS. Pick one

[@Morbidhouse]

He did, it's called Heer, the German army.
Wehrmacht stands for combined armed forces
