    DKiG document for discussion

    Good Morning Guys,

    Being a SS HStFhr shouldn't it read on the document "KpFhr"

    instead of "KpChef" ??

    Thank you

    Wolf













    Hi Sepp,

    interestingly the rank is written as "Kompanie Chef"

    SS terminology would say though : "Kompanie Fuehrer"

    A mistake ?

    Please let me know !

    Best regards

    Wolf

    Right terminology IMO, as Kment was the appointed leader of the companie.

    On the other hand You can also read the term "Führer" used for Wehrmacht-officers, e.g. in "Führerreserve".

    Kind regards, Peter

      In the Heer the correct term is chef.

        Hi Peter,

        thanks but your reply is a bit misleading.

        Yes, when not yet officially appointed it was called :

        "mit der Fuehrung beauftragt " !!!

        That terminology had been used in all three arms of the Wehrmacht !

        Officialy though thë "regular" leader of the company was named :

        Heer : Kompanie Chef

        Waffen SS : Kompanie Fuehrer

        Thank you

        Wolf

          Hello

          That is wrong!

          The right terminology for all branches of the Wehrmacht (including Waffen SS) is Kompanie Chef / Kompaniechef ! (Batteriechef in Artillerie units)

          "Mit der Führung beauftragt" is the term for higher commands, if the position of the comander is temporary re-staffed.

          Kompanieführer is the right terminology for a soldier, leading the coy temporary, with a rank below the normal coy leader.
          (in case of a KIA Kompaniechef, the Kompanietruppführer taked care over the coy (in action) until the next officer can take care over the coy.
          In this case both were Kompanieführer.


          Best regards, Fronti

          P.S. It's hard to explain with rusty school english.

              Correct.

              This is a 100% original example of a Formal DK Urkunde.

                Gentlemen,

                please have a look at below copy :

                According to your assumption/reasoning all officers are "KpFhr" on probation ...

                Seems to be very, very unusual to find an active Waffen SS Rgt / Div without

                a single regular company commander ...

                Regards

                      You asked the question - who needs to hit the books?

                      My area is KC documentation, though I've been known to dabble in DK material as well. Here is an SS KC Prelim that has been posted on the forum before. Is this one wrong too?

                        WRONG.

                        There was a military distinction in terms used by the Army with Chef/Führer. Chef being the commander, and Führer actually only as a deputy or acting commander. The W-SS often co-opted the terminology of its big brother, the Heer. Many member's of the W-SS received their technical training in Army schools, as the fledging, paramilitary W-SS had none. Much of that Army influence can be seen throughout the W-SS, as it sought to gain legitimacy as a military organization. This also extends to simple things like to the use of the term Chef. being interchanged with Führer.

                              Gentlemen,

                              it is amazing how a simple question can lead to arguments like this !

                              I had just asked if the terminology "KpChef" on the award document had

                              been the right term for a Waffen SS officer in the very same position !

                              None of you guys has answered that simple question !

                              Instead of providing a solid answer you went on the "defensive"

                              and insinuated that I argue the origin of that document !

                              Please be fair ... I do not want to doubt the document shown....

                              I just want you to answer my question !!!

                              All documents/resources I have indicate that an officer in the Waffen SS

                              ... commanding a company... was called "Kompanie Fuehrer" !!

                              (till the last minute of the war)

                              You are right when stating that later on in the war Waffen SS commanders

                              added the equivalent to Army Ranks to their SS Ranks ....

                              but this fact does not justify your conclusions !

                              Please read my statements and stay within the parameters of a serious

                              discussion !

                              Best regards

                              Wolf

                              Please !

                              Wolf
