There’s too many ranks for Germany overall, since each branch had their own completely unique ranks
Yeah that's very true, I'm focusing on SS ranks rn. So Joachim was a Sturmbannführer yeah?
I used to have a chart saved with the SS ranks
I find it regrettable that I cannot dig it up for you
Peiper lead a Kampfgruppe IIRC
God I wish that were me
Wait, when was he promoted to Standartenführer?
At the time of that picture, yes, he was a Sturmbannführer
Probably shortly after receiving the Swords on his Knights Cross
That's pretty cool
I mean
My grandfather had oak leaves, swords and diamonds on his :^)
Who did he serve with?
Who as in what unit?
He was in the 7th Panzer Division - I don’t remember the regiment he was part of within the division though
I meant what branch of the Reich like SS or Wehrmacht or Luftwaffe etc. That's cool as heck
Ew germans
>the 7th
Yo
He was Heer, obvious from the unit.
That’s not strictly true
Early war successes can’t be ignored
>France and Belgium
Like they really put up that much of a fight
Belgium true
France, well, blame the politicians and leaders
The troops fought for every inch
“Fought”
Not to mention had arguably better armor
>radio
You fuckin goon
>one man turrets
>didnt foughr
🆗 retard
France’s whole strategy was relying on Germany doing the same thing as in World War 1
Which, Germany called them on and *just went through the fucking forest*
That’s not up to the troops dude
Like I said, politicians and leaders
Free France was a thing after that
Free France on the other hand, uhhhh
