"SS-Brigadef\u00FChrer was an SS rank that was used in Nazi Germany between the years of 1932 and 1945. Brigadef\u00FChrer was also an SA rank.The rank was first created due to an expansion of the SS and assigned to those officers in command of SS-Brigaden. In 1933, the SS-Brigaden were changed in name to SS-Abschnitte; however, the rank of Brigadef\u00FChrer remained the same.Originally, Brigadef\u00FChrer was considered the second general officer rank of the SS and ranked between Oberf\u00FChrer and Gruppenf\u00FChrer."@en . . .
