I have been researching Boger, who was an SS NCO at Auschwitz, I need to know his promotion dates. But while researching I found that he was an SS officer in the Allegemeine-SS Untersturmfuhrer 20-04-34; Obersturmfuhrer 09-11-34 and Hauptsturmfuhrer 12-09-37.
Can anyone help wuth Waffen-SS ranks his nco rank dates ? Also can anyone explain how he can be an officer in the Allgeimeine-SS but nco in Waffen-SS I don't really understand this and I need to understand for my research!!!

Possibly due to embezzlement and mususe , Boger was demotioned in the Algemeine SS .

In Berichtigungsheft zur DAL 1.12.38 . Stand 15.6.1939 Boger is Hauptsturmfuhrer . Demotioned must be subsequent ( between 15. 6. 1939 & middle 1940 , when he arrived to Auschwitz )
