Translation

[edit]

One should mention that "Mann" is simply translated as man and is used in everyday language in Germany like man is used in everyday English and i think this should appear first on this page.

i find this article to be a very narrow interpretation/explanation by merely referring to Nazi-Germany.

Instead of making negative comments about other people's work, why don't YOU add the additional information. This encyclopedia is for all to edit and add to. Thanks for your comments -Husnock 4Jan05

'Mann' a rank?

[edit]

I have some doubts if 'Mann' (English 'man') is really a formal SS-rank, rather than a word simply meaning 'male member of a group'. Isn't it true that a private and an officer could both be called 'SS-Mann'? 77.162.130.139 (talk) 20:25, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Its clearly listed in SS service records as a formal rank, the second (and later third) of the entry level ranks after Anwarter and Bewerber. Promotion orders were also routinely issued listing this as an official rank (see Service record of Reinhard Heydrich). -OberRanks (talk) 20:29, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
