Either that or have it look just like Himmler's Reichsfuhrer insignia, but have gold in place of the silver.

Re: Adolf Hitler Rank insignia

Hitler DID have a personal rank in the SS: Oberste Führer der Schutzstaffel . Literally, "Supreme Leader of the SS", was a special title intended to be held solely by Adolf Hitler. When the SS became an independent organization from the SA, Hitler was listed on SS officer rolls as SS membe...

Re: Equivalent of Five Star General in Other Countries

There was talk a few years back of elevating General David Petraeus to the rank of General of the Army (personally, if we're gonna promote some more people to 5-star rank, I think George S. Patton and Marc Mitscher (both posthumously), Colin Powell, and H. Norman Schwarzkopf should also be considere...

Re: Scottish Armed Forces

My guess is they would look very close to the UK's insignia, but with a slight variant.

I guess if you're in charge of the country, you can award yourself whatever rank you want.

How about the crossed batons on a solid gold version of the KADM pin?

Re: Kriegsmarine Collar Insignia

Sergeant appeared to be a generic rank in the IJA...I'm sure there were degrees of Sergeant, but it looked like no matter if you were Squad Leader, Platoon Sergeant, or Company NCO, your rank tab was the same. The same with Sergeant Major, whether you were Battalion, Brigade, or Regiment NCO.

Re: Kriegsmarine Collar Insignia

The IJN did wear their insignias like that on their flight suits, whether they were enlisted, NCOs, or officers. I don't know whether IJA pilots did the same thing, but there's enough drawing to possibly create another page for the Japan section of the main site.

Nice job...those could also be used as hypothetical flight suit ranks for Graf Zeppelin's airwing.

Re: Kriegsmarine Collar Insignia

not sure what to make for the feldwebels yet but for the officers, you could have a system such as this for pins: [img]http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/7113/kriegsmarinecollar.jpg[/img] Those are great! But I'd agree with mounting the pips on the bars themselves. Here's a couple more: Grossadmira...

Kriegsmarine Collar Insignia

I dunno if this should go here or in the European rank section, but since it does fall under the category of 'hypothetical', I'll post it here.

What if the Kriegsmarine had standard-duty officer uniforms similar to the U.S. Navy khakis? Anyone care to speculate how the collar insignia would look?

Re: USN National Guard Medical Personnel

I've seen several of your rank charts, and I have to say I really like the progression of the Master Chief ranks. MCPON should really have four stars, as he is the top enlisted in the fleet. Great work on all your charts!

Re: Army Reichsmarshall

Great work on those drawings, ryanemilia! Here's another question: what would the Army camo insignia and the Air Force flight suit insignia look like? Anyone have ideas?
