There were all top staff leaders of the NS Reichskriegerbund (Kyffhauserbund) up to his disband in 1943 and were members of allgemeine SS since 30's
They rose in SS hierarchy and held major administrative duties in Waffen SS during the war

SS Gruppenführer Major aD von Behr was stabsführer
SS Gruppenführer Major aD von Jena was Leiter abteilung II (Personalien)
SS Brigadeführer Major aD Goedicke was leiter abteilung Ib (Innere Angelegenheiten)
