Rank with a capital letter

Hello

Can anyone help me. I´m writing a novel in danish, but has stumbled upon a little problem.

As far as I understand the wehrmacht ranks doesn´t start with a capital letter (hauptmann, major etc.) and the SS ranks does (SS-Hauptsturmführer, SS-Sturmbannführer etc)

but I need to verify it

Can anyone help me with that?

Thanks a lot

How did you come to that nonsense :( ??
See http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Sol ... r/Heer.htm
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dienstgrade_der_Wehrmacht
http://wdienstgrade.tripod.com/

Btw: Wehrmacht - not wehrmacht !

Is "Beinbruch" now splinted :) ??
