Rank insignia Nazi Germany until 1945; here NSDAP – collar patch, medium level of leaders.
Rank (gorget, left-hand side): Ober-Gemeinschaftsleiter (Senior Community Leader, in the meaning: battalion-sized unit level)
Particularity: the paramilitary ranks Obersturmbannführer SA, SS and NSKK were derived from this design (4 golden pips, 1 golden braid). However, Waffen-SS Obersturmbannführer and Oberstleutnant of the Wehrmacht were of salary group W7, in line to the German Reichs-Besoldungsordnung (today comparable to NATO OF-4).
