WoW !! Wouldn't mind being 'Interrogated' by them -- not a jackboot in sight !

During my time in West Germny (BAOR) in the 1960s, I came across some German Abwher soldiers. One of the ranks was Unteroffizier. I was told that this rank was somewhere between full corporal and sergenat under the NATO Rank grades - so which is correct? is the Unteroffizziser equivalent of a corporal or a sergeant.

I always thaought that the German SNCO Army rank of Feldvebel was equivalent of Sergenat under NATO rank grades? Any ideas for this.

Unteroffizier is the same than a Corporal in the British Forces. He is often a group leader.

Feldwebel is 2 ranks higher and is often employed as a platoon leader. This is equivalent to a Sergeant

The rank between Unteroffizier and Feldwebel is called Stabsunteroffizier. This person is an Unteroffizier for more than 2 years and can be employed as a deputy of a Sergeant
