ranks and insignia of the ordnungspolizei

The Ranks and insignia of the Ordnungspolizei developed in 1936 after the incorporation of Germany's regular police forces in the SS.

Ordnungspolizei Rank Titles

Ordnungspolizei ranks were based on local police titles and were considered a separate system from the ranks of the SS. It was also possible for Orpo members to hold dual status in both the Orpo and the SS, meaning that two ranks could be held simultaneously. In the case of Orpo Generals, equivalent SS rank was always held in which case the Orpo General would be addressed by their SS rank first, followed by their police titles (Ex: Obergruppenfhrer und General der Polizei). In 1944 all Orpo Generals also gained equivalent Waffen-SS rank so that, in the event of capture by the Allies, the Orpo General would hold status as a military officer instead of a police official.
