I wonder why these Belgian and French officers were given "Waffen"-Ustuf. ranks. Were they less germanic than the Dutch or Finns?

several posts ago the question was raised why some dutch officers in the Waffen-SS did recieve SS-numbers and others not. Also raised was the question why officers from one nation were named as Waffen-Führer or SS-Führer . I can only comment for the Dutch officers.

Question one is a simple one; They became members of the German Schutzstaffel and thus were given SS-Numbers. After they had been taken into the SS as SS-Mann they were promoted to SS-Ustuf/ostuf der Waffen-SS and asigned to a unit.
It is interesting to know that several of these officers, who had also been taken in the German SS, later also became member of the Germanic SS in the Netherlands.
This last thing also happened the other way round, i.e. dutch gemanic SS members later became member of the german SS (best known is JH Feldmeijer, Dutch SS-number 1, german ss number 440 001)

As to question 2: why were some officers called Waffen-Fhr and not SS-Fhr or vice versa.
This is in my view a unimportant issue, and an issue which is highly confusing. Known are dutch SS-Officers, who are Waffen-Fhr , even though they were members of the germanic SS in the Netherlands, which applied the same SS-laws regarding the genealogy of person as the german SS. So it appears to me if one is accepted for the Germanic SS in the Netherlands, one should not be classified when entering the WSS as a Waffen-Fhr.

I myself find this part of the issue a non-issue, as the most important thing to me, is whether or not a person became an officer, and not if his rank is prefixed with SS, or Frw,or Waffen, or Legion. .

Nico - Thanks for your very good comments and I agree that it does not make sense to make such distinctions. It would appear that they were creating different classes of officers which is understandable in the case of Aktiv and Reserve officers, but not when it is based on the degree of how "germanic" someone is.

Jamie - I believe that the reason here on this list is that most Untersturmführers did not have an SS number at the time of their appointment. I often see documents in their files where they are given an SS number shortly after promotion to Untersturmführer. I think that just about everyone had an SS number in the 1930s and that is why you find most people on Untersturmführer promotion lists prior to 1941 had SS numbers next to their names.

Hi John,
i have lists of lssah men sighning for there Wehrpasses with Wehr-Nr along side there names
would this be there service numbers?Doe's this mean you only got an ss number if you became an officer?
Best Jamie

[John P. Moore]

Jamie - Wehr numbers and SS numbers were separate matters and I don't believe that there was any connection between the two. About SS numbers I can only say that after looking through thousands of officer and enlisted perssonnel files and other period documents that everybody in the SS up to 1939 or 1940 appeared to have an SS number assigned to them, except for members of the SS-Polizei Division that was formed in September 1939. I suspect that as the SS expanded after 1940 the practise of giving SS numbers to all members of the Waffen-SS was discontinued. And then we observe where many newly-appointed officers were given "conditional" SS numbers with a (V) suffix.

Here are some more pages from the promotion list.

Can somebody help me to indentify the identity or ‘volksangehörigkeit’ of the in this ‘Personalveränderungsblatt’ mentioned participants of the ‘4. Lehrgang für germanische Offiziere’? I thought first that all participants with German sounding names where ‘Volksdeutscher’, but some of them seem to be born in Germany, so this suggest that they where ‘Reichsdeutscher’?
