List of SA brigade leaders

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of SA brigade leaders provides an overview of all persons who achieved the rank of brigade leader in the Sturmabteilung (SA), the "party army" of the NSDAP .

Only a relatively small number of brigade commanders were appointed to the third highest rank that existed in this organization: among several million SA members, only 336 men were promoted to this rank between 1933 and 1945, according to research so far. This corresponds to a ratio of about one for every 10,000 members who have belonged to the organization during its entire existence.

The following list follows the "Ranking list of Obergruppenführer, Gruppenführer and Brigadführer" compiled in 1969 by Horst Henrich on behalf of the Federal Archives, which was based on a systematic evaluation of the so-called " Führer commands " issued by the SA leadership as the public announcements about promotion in the SA, from the years 1931 to 1944. The order of the persons named in the list follows their seniority, the date of their appointment as brigade leader.
