Mann

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/bf/SSMann.gif
The SS rank of Mann was denoted by a blank collar patch


Mann was a rank used by several Nazi Party paramilitary organizations, and is most often associated with the S.S. and also as a rank of the SA. Translated roughly as “Member”, “Person”, or “Trooper”, Mann was the lowest enlisted rank and was the equivalent of a Private.

In 1938, with the rise of the SS-Verfügungstruppe (later called the Waffen-SS), the SS changed the rank of Mann to Schütze, although still retained the original SS rank of Mann for the Allgemeine-SS (General SS).

In most Nazi Party organizations, the rank of Mann held no distinctive insignia. Some groups, however, granted a minor form of rank insignia such as a blank collar patch or bare shoulder board to denote the rank of Mann.

An even lower rank, known as Anwärter, was etablished in the mid 1930s as a recruit or candidate position, held by an individual seeking an appointment as a Mann in a Nazi Party paramilitary organization.
