Hi Greg,
Try posting it under translation requests, from looking at http://www.feldgrau.com/ranks.html that doesn't seem like a rank to me but rather an appointment. That is to say the person holds a position eg chief of the office where they decide the colour of campaign ribbons.
Cheers,
John K

Hey john,

Thank you very much ofr your help. It seems my search slowly progress even though my understanding of the Sipo-SD organisation is a bit more clearer everyday.

I think I should soon get the answers to my questions :wink:

Hi Keorn,

Are you sure it is related to a person and that it isn't a unit?
I ask because to the best of my knowledge the abbreviation would fit: Stabs-Kompanie-der-Waffen SS beim Reichs-Sicherheits-Haupt-Amt.
Now, I haven't been able to confirm the existance of this specific unit but I have found a Stabs-Kompanie-der-Waffen-SS with another of the 12 SS-Hauptamte, Volksdeutsche Mittelteile. I presume that this was a sort of liaison unit for the Wafen-SS within this Hauptamt but I'm not sure of this.

Not sure if my post is worth anything but maybe (and hopefully) it can point you in the right direction.

Whatever it may turn it out to be please post the answer you find! Most curious now!

Best regards,

Paul
