hi guys,
Can you help me sort out the ranking of soldiers in WW2 for both the allied and German troops in WW II. Any pictures of the Stripes etc for the US ranks and the equivelant for the German troops, Wermacht, Luftwaffe, SS etc would be greatfully received.
Many thanks, Kenny.

Not exactly the answer to the question you asked, but you may be able to make some extrapolations from here:

Stormin

Put this one in the bookmarks folder in your computer.
http://www.skalman.nu/third-reich/ It`s the Third Reich Fact book and everything you wanted to know about the german fighting forces during WW2.

If you look at the uniforms & militaria section of this site and then click collar tabs. They also have a section with arm coughs and stuff look around on this site and I`m sure you will find a lot of information
