After Hindenburg died and Hitler took over as Chancellor and President, the German armed forces had been reformed.
It was established organizational structure under which the head of each of the three armed forces (land army, Luftwaffe and Navy) was a Supreme commander, reporting personally to the Fuhrer. In addition, a separate military structure the Waffen-SS was with his staff and leadership. Thus, the unified military command of the Wehrmacht actually had.
Military ranks of Nazi Germany in General terms, repeat the hierarchy, adopted after the First world war. Under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles the size of the army was not to exceed one hundred thousand people. Junior officers, captains and staff officers was command of the medium. Thus, to deploy a full army it remained only to introduce mobilization orders for Junior officers and privates.
In 1937, was introduced the title of technical and veterinary officers. A year approved officials “field” and “staff Sergeant", which are assigned to the NCOs, decertified. Thus, appeared the ranks of Nazi Germany, which pointed out that the political and military leadership of this country took a course on militarization, and the conditions adopted in Versailles, is actually ignored.
The Organizational structure of the Kriegsmarine, that is, naval forces, were not significantly different from that adopted in the world hierarchy. Naval ranks of Nazi Germany, from ordinary seaman to Admiral, consistent with their counterparts in the Soviet Navy, the difference was only in titles: “korvettenkapitan”, “fregattenkapitan” and “Capitan LRC Zee”, that is, the captains of the third, second and first grades.

In the Luftwaffe (same as BBC) private employee was called “fly”. Aviation military ranks Nazi Germany were the same as those in the army.
The Waffen-SS had its own chain of command. These forces were considered elite, which was reflected in the requirements for the appearance of the fighters. He had to fully comply with the racial theories that prevailed in the Third Reich. Military ranks of the Wehrmacht did not coincide with the SS like insignia. So, the shoulder straps of SS-untersturmführer consistent with military Lieutenant, captain SS had the power of a captain, and SS standartenführer-Colonel.
You Can see a certain parallel between two similar functions in military structures of the German SS and the Soviet NKVD. Power, which provides military ranks of Nazi Germany, epaulets and other insignia, was different for the elite units and regular combat troops. In the USSR Sergeant of the NKVD performed the duties similar to Lieutenant (army). This “shift” two stage continues, to major, to correspond with the Colonel.
In the conditions of a totalitarian state punitive troops are fundamental to such regimes function. They frighten the population of the occupied territories and its own army. That explains the dislike, amounting to hatred combined with contempt, which were treated front-line soldiers to the representatives of these elite groups, the more that particular fortitude in defence and daring in attack, neither the NKVD nor the SS did not differ.
