    Officer candidates transfer

    Hello!

    I'm looking for some informations concerning NCOs-to-Officer transfer in Wehrmacht. As far as I know before 30.01.1940 the system of Officer's candidates was very simple and easy:

    Rank Fahnenjunker was for the "cadet" attending a two month course at a Kreigsschule (military school).

    Rank Fähnrich was for the "cadet" who passed out from Kreigsschule (military school) and went for a four month course at Truppentschule (Arm of Service School), or military academy (Medical, Veterinary or Engineering).

    Rank Oberfähnrich was for the "cadet" who passed out from the Truppentschule (Arm of Service School), or alternately, having passed the Final Professional Examination of a military academy (Medical, Veterinary or Engineering) and serving a probationary period of two months in a field unit before commissioning.

    Easy and simple. What about after 30.01.1940 when the growing need for officers in the Army meant that senior NCOs could now become officer candidates, in addition to officer candidates selected before joining the Army.

    How was the system in this case, what ranks did they use, what schools did they attend, how long?

    Thanks ahead for the answers!

        Robert! Was there several times. But it's not clear in every detail. For example:

        There is unterfeldwebel of active Army. He was sent to receive Leutnant rank. What rank didi he receive in moment he was sent to studying? - Fahnenjunker or Faehnrich? Where was he sent to study - Kriegschule, Waffenschule? How long did it take to study?

          I am sorry but I can't answer those questions but I have this letter that could perhaps help you ;

          " Enclosed with this letter you are going to find the military passport of your fallen son . There had to be completed some entries. According to regimental orders your son has been promoted from Unteroffizier (lowest NCO rank) to Fahnenjunker (NCO officer aspirant) with effect from 1 september 1941"
