leon21 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hi guys, I have a Luftschutz Medal award document awarded to a D.R.K. Hauptfuhrer for services to the Luftschutz dated 1941. I'm trying to find out what rank a Hauptfuhrer was - ie was he a Captain or of higher rank, not having much luck.................anybody know. Here's a photo of a group of D.R.K. members. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr bridger Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 A SS Hauptscharfuhrer is the rank of the British Coy Sgt-Major, and a SS Hauptsturmfuhrer is that of a Captain. Hope this helps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leon21 Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 Thanks Mr B. I know he would have worn a shoulder board with 2 pips, so i'm thinking Captain ?. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Andrew Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hi Colin, Hauptfuhrer would be the equivalent to Hauptmann which is a Captain 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
