Nazi party paramilitary ranks
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Nazi party paramilitary ranks were pseudo-military titles which were used by the National Socialist German Workers Party between the years of 1920 and 1945. Since the Nazi Party was by its very nature a paramilitary organization, by the time of the Second World War, several systems of paramilitary ranks had come into existence for both the Nazi Party itself and the various Nazi paramilitary organizations.
The following articles provide information regarding the various paramilitary rank systems used by the Nazi Party:
- Ranks and insignia of the Nazi Party
- Ranks and insignia of the Schutzstaffel
- Ranks and insignia of the Sturmabteilung
- Ranks and insignia of the Hitler Youth
- Ranks and insignia of the National Socialist Flyers Corps
- Ranks and insignia of the National Socialist Motor Corps
- Ranks and insignia of the Volkssturm
After the Nazi Party came to power in Germany, a number of Nazi state sponsered organizations developed Nazi style ranks, insignia, and titles. Such various ranks and insignia included:
- Ranks and insignia of the Ordnungspolizei
- Ranks and insignia of the Reichsarbeitsdienst
- Ranks and insignia of the Reichsluftschutzbund
- Ranks and insignia of the Reichsbahn
- Ranks and insignia of Organisation Todt
The Nazis use of paramilitary ranks even extended as far as inmates of concentration camps. By 1936, a system of Nazi concentration camp badges had been developed which has been created along paramilitary lines.
