And our well-known Dr. Werner Best, as well as NSFK-Obergruppenführer Ewald Oppermann and Dr. Arthur A. Manthey, was Oberdienstleiter der NSDAP.

We forgot our Hermann Göring: he was Oberbefehlsleiter der NSDAP. But Erhard Milch was Befehlsleiter der NSDAP. And Friedrich Jeckeln was Oberdienstleiter der NSDAP.

Igor:

What references do you have for Göring as a Oberbefehlsleiter? And many of the new names you just mentioned like Ohnesorge Milch Christiansen etc. These names do not appear on any list that I have ever seen !! And many of these names would certainly have appeared if they were in those ranks. Were these late war promotions ? I have NEVER seen any reference for Göring in any NSDAP Rank.

... in addition to the doubts Mark Costa is speaking of - what's about the proof concerning Jeckeln ??!!

Mark,
-I remember talking about Göring holding an NSDAP rank during a previous discussion and I am pretty sure we came to the conclusion that he held no rank!!!! I think he was mentioned along with men like Funk and Esser. Big wigs that did not hold some sort of NSDAP rank. If Göring was an Oberbefehlsleiter and if Igor has a reputable source then I most certainly would love to add him to my updated list!!! Also, I would love to add the other names Igor memtioned as well (Jeckeln, Milch). Thanks!!!

Pitino:

I agree on fat Hermann -- never any indication he held PL rank of any kind. Igor will need to support these names with documentation before we add their names to the list. Friedrich Ringshausen, whom he listed back on January 6th, makes no sense at all, as he was already a retired Honorary Gauleiter by 1939. Why would he be given a lowly Hauptdienstleiter rank when he is already an honorary gauleiter and retired??

Add Franz Mende, close collaborator of Robert Ley and Fritz Sauckel, who was at least Dienstleiter der NSDAP (some indications point out on the Ober- and Hauptdienstleiter der NSDAP, but this I have yet to figure out).

I had him listed as an Oberdienstleiter, but I was pretty sure he may have been promoted. Do you know the date he was promoted to Befehlsleiter? I will have to make this correction on my new official list when I come out with it. Thanks again!!
Herbert Hänssgen listed as Befehlsleiter der NSDAP as late as March 1944.
