Rank insignia Nazi Germany until 1945; here NSDAP – collar patch, medium level of leaders.
Rank (gorget, left-hand side): Gemeinschaftsleiter (Community Leader, in the meaning: battalion-sized unit level)
Particularity: the paramilitary ranks Sturmbannführer SA, SS and NSKK were derived from this design (4 golden pips). However, Waffen-SS Sturmbannführer and Major of the Wermacht were of salary group W8, in line to the German Reichs-Besoldungsordnung (today comparable to NATO OF-3).
