Nice to know all the ranks, saved the chart to my hard drive.

Thanks RK, <img border="0" alt="[bigbye]" title="" src="graemlins/xyxwave.gif" />

Hi RK,
Only to point out a possible misunderstanding, in fact in France the rank of Major is Commandant. A Commandant could be a chief of escadron or a chief of battalion.
I hope this helps.
Ciao

I love this guy's Belgian translations. Really colorful.

German/English = Dutch (Belgium/Netherlands)

Soldat/Private = Soldaat
Gefreiter = Soldaat-1 (or Soldaat eerste klas)
Korporal/Corporal = Korporaal
Zugsfuhrer/Sergeant = Sergeant
Feldwebel/Sergeant-Major = Sergeant-Majoor
Fahnrich/Warrant Officer = Vaandrig
Leutnant/Lieutenant = Luitenant
Hauptmann/Captain = Kapitein
Major/Major = Majoor
Oberst/Colonel = Kolonel
General/General = Generaal

I must note that I left the army with the same rank I entered it with. None...

Those ranks are for the standard Army (Wehrmacht) whereas the Waffen SS had their own, and very different, rank designations
