Schar

I'm wondering is there an appropriate term for Schar (military formation) in English language?

Hmm, not really. Sometimes it's translated as squad or company :( .

Hi Marko,

I've also seen it translated as troop, which could be synonymous with a squad. I guess it depends ont he context, as ever :D

The title applies to SA, SS and HJ organizations. In English, a 'Schar' may be represented by the terms squad or group.
