Sturmführer

Sturmführer ([ˈʃtʊʁm.fyːʀɐ], "storm leader") was a paramilitary rank of the Nazi Party which began as a title used by the Sturmabteilung (SA) in 1925 and became an actual SA rank in 1928.

[1] By 1930, Sturmführer had become the lowest commissioned officer (CO) rank of several Nazi Party paramilitary organizations, including the SA.

[2] The title was also used as an SS rank until 1934 when after the Night of the Long Knives the SS renamed the rank Untersturmführer,[3] which was the equivalent to a second lieutenant in other military organizations.
