Thirty ranks? How did that come about, how could it work?

I guess I dont understand the question. It came about becuase the NSDAP created the ranks. Earlier periods did not have so many. "How it worked"? I guess they just sewed them on the collars and went about their business. -Husnock 03:40, 5 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

What were there relationships to the Nazi paramilitary ranks?

These are the Nazi paramilitary ranks. As for your original questions: as per the Führerprinzip, the Nazis were pretty much obsessed with ranks and titles, that's how it came about. How did it work? Not very well. The hierarchy was an absolute mess, since it wasn't uncommon to hold ranks in the SS, the Party, and in the Wehrmacht: it was possible that one's subordinant was his superior in the other organizations. This phenomenon just added to the enmity between the SS and the Wehrmacht. --SáT 23:42, 19 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

What I meant was, how do these ranks relate to the ranks or the SS and SA etc. You partly answered this question, so how did they resolve this problem of holding various ranks? And was a particular rank listed here considered highler or lower than a particular ranks of the SS for example?

I've suggested here that there should be a page comparing the various ranks of the Third Reich to each other. - Matthew238 02:20, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. Looks like a clean-up resulted in the images being tagged and removed.--Koncorde (talk) 17:16, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Purely interesting facet: Hoheren Sinnestrager

It certainly wasn't official, but where was this actually used or brought up initially to be sourced even as an idea? The term Hoheren Sinnestrager as per this source - ...The terminology is quite suggestive. To call God a Hoheren Sinnestrager meant linguistically to give him some place in the military hierarchy, since the Nazis had changed the military... 65.102.40.8 (talk) 06:47, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
