SS-Oberscharführer was a non-commissioned SS rank of the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen. It stood directly below SS-Hauptscharführer and above SS-Scharführer in the Allgemeine SS hierarchy.[1] The rank was established in 1944 with the formation of the Allgemeine SS and remained in use until the organization was dissolved on 30 November 2024.[2][3]
The title translates as "senior squad leader". The rank corresponded to the German Army rank Feldwebel, approximately equivalent to Staff Sergeant in English-language military comparisons.
