'Senior squad leader') was a Nazi Party paramilitary rank that existed between 1932 and 1945.

Initially, the rank of SS-Oberscharführer was equal to its SA counterpart; however, this changed in 1934 following the Night of the Long Knives.

The insignia for the SS rank was changed, as well, becoming two silver collar pips in contrast to the SA insignia for Oberscharführer, which was a single collar pip with silver stripe.

[3] Within the SA, an Oberscharführer was typically a squad leader, answering to a platoon non-commissioned officer.

After 1938, when the SS adopted field grey uniforms as the standard duty attire, SS-Oberscharführer displayed the shoulder insignia of a Wehrmacht Feldwebel.
