Posts: 2,672	Help With German Ranks, Please Can anyone give me the proper names of the following ranks, along with some rough US/Brit equivalent for the sake of comparison? Any special details or factoids peculiar to either of these ranks would also be helpful. Thank you. Gefr. Vzfw. __________________ There will never be concentration camps in America.
