The red stands for blood sacred for the independence of the Fatherland, the white stands for purity.

1. Creating the "rank" based on a number of posts may result in hundreds of post with no actual value - just to get the rank. I can see some such tendencies on our forum :( I'm glad to hear that we finally agree in this :wink: 2. Not all posts are equal in value (I mean their informative ...

hows that? They look really nice, job well done CB :P But on the other hand the idea of using triangels to show rank or positon is quite old and dates back from 1930's when they were used in german concentracion camps. According to the nazi system the black triangel was prescribed for Asoziale :win...

I'm looking forward to see them :)

Denat

BTW Your ranks are somehow following the general british/commonwealth pattern, am I right?

Denat

They are really great

I know how much work is needed to create such masterpieces like yours, because I also enjoy creating my own rank insignias ... in Paint :(

Denat

I'm creating my ilustrations in Paint.

Denat – Thank you Sorry for late reply - traveling. I appreciate your correction about the Polish SAS. The badge I was thinking of was a version of the national insignia you display above. It defiantly had those beautiful upswept Eagle wings so was probably that or a version of it used during WWII....

Denat

Hi Denat, I have seen the 'Land Forces' cap badge you illustrated, but with a small shield shape in the space on the base below the eagle.........what unit was this? Regards Alastair Hi Alastair, there is only one official type of Polish Land Forces National Eagle (for all units) in current use, ge...

Here is the Polish Land Forces National Eagle worn on Peaked Cap :arrow:

Hi does anyone have a link or information on the Polish Special Air Service (SAS) cap badge during WWII ? Thanks Hi Robb :wink: First of all such a unit like Polish Special Air Service (SAS) never existed during WWII, neither in the Polish Armed Forces in the West, nor in the 1st and 2nd Polish Arm...

Hello everybody! I am wondering for some time how to compare the ranks of the Bundeswehr to the Ranks of the US Armed Forces and the British Forces. Does anyone know a url where they are compared? In addition I would like to know what the minimum promotion requirements are in the US and UK forces (...

Since we veered a little off the original topic, I thought it might be of benefit to all if we continued this discussion here in the general forum. This muliti-page discussion started under “Canadian Commodore” by Yasu in the America, Military Forum. We have now covered at least 3 continents, 7 or ...

I would like to reffer to the statment: Gentlemen, once again this discussion is endless and hopeless This discussion is neither endless nor hopeless - we were just trying to create some general rules of universal translation of ranks and we've got some effects. Briefly speaking rank structure all a...

Hi!
Does anyone of you know where can I find german cap emblems from the II World War period (III Reich)? Those used during the German empire era (II Reich) will be also nice to see.
Thank you :)

I presume you mean also federal agencies. Here are some useful links:

Here is a table of different nations' general officer ranks in the period of World War II. This table clearly shows, that there will be as many problems with finding the equivalent ranks for generals as with any other ranks and there is no easy solution of that.

Resuming this discussion, the British rank system is not equivalent to U.S. one, especialy when we are talking about NCO ranks and it will remain the same unless HM Queen Elizabeth II as Commander-in-Chief will make some changes in it.The NCO ranks are very different all around the world, in contrar...

That wasn't Anonymous, that was me :P You are certainly right that the main difference between MGySGT and SGTMJ is position they are holding, but still this is important to distinguish those ranks in some way.But when I was writting that ranks of Warrant Officer 1st,2nd Class are no equivalent to MS...

That Guest Was me !!! But some error occured or something like that :oops:

Reffering to your arguments I would agree that in some places the British system is more useful, but only when we are speaking about commisioned officer ranks. Maybe you are right, that in the British system the enlisted grades are far more clear than the multitude of confusing Sergeant ranks in the...

Denat

Hi! I would like to reffer to your statement. You are certainly right in case of keeping as much of original intent of the rank title as possible while that gives us all a good opportunity to understand it and that will be undoubtedly helpful in understanding rank systems from around the world.In ca...
