Ranks

Appreciate all you have done…can’t wait to see them.

Great work , thanks a lot :slight_smile:

I’d appreciate it if somebody could find me those ranks:
WW2 German Army Rank - Oberschütze, Gefreiter, Obergefreiter, and Generalmajor

I see that my rank is showing today.:smiley:

Thanx for all you have done.

Which rank does this insignia correspond to? Is it Schuetze (Private)?

That’s the bottom end of the line.:wink:
A private (Waffen-SS)

that’s what I thought. should be uploaded in a few minutes.
is the insignia the same as oberschuetze?

German Army (Heer):

Oberschütze: Oberschütze1.jpg

Gefreiter: Gefreiter.jpg

Obergefreiter: Obergefreiter.jpg

P.S. I’m about to get the Generalmajor insignia.

yes, but what about the earlier one I posted? wouldn’t they all have the same basic shape? (parallelogram)

Boss, I’m a bit confused. Which insignia do you want to install? Heer (Army) or Waffen-SS? The parallelogram thingies are Waffen-SS collar tabs.
An ‘Oberschütze’ would wear the same blank collar insignia like a ‘Schütze’ (private) but with the star on the upper left sleeve, ‘Gefreiter’ and ‘Obergefreiter’ the chevrons at the same spot.

waffen-ss
that’s what I thought, which would explain the same insignia.

There shouldn’t be anymore issues. If there are clear your browser’s cache.

or from user panel - Group Membership give Leave group and then join group again it shold clear the problem if still anyone have it .

Would there be ranks for the Japanese Army?

I started the rank system a couple of years ago. It was working correctly then. Now it has some glitches. Missing pics etc… Plus the software has changed and ive forgotten how I did it. So it will take some time to figure out what I did. We never had japanese ranks … but if you could find them on a site and post the link here … im sure I could add them I update the system.

it would have to be individual images, not one big one and preferably in .png

kinda like http://www.ww2incolor.com/forum/images/ranks/529px-USAr.insignia.e4.wag2.png is one large crisp image.

it would have to be individual images, not one big one and preferably in .png

I only found a site which has IJA ranks insignias but they’re only in gif. Anybody know how to convert it?

Look for a program called IrfanView. That should be capable of the conversion of image formats. It is a free download.
If you want to get into being able to convert formats in batches, I’d also recommend GIMP Shop: rather similar to Adobe PhotoShop, but free, and Open-Source. Be aware, GIMP Shop is a rather large download, but well worth the effort.
