Obermann (English: Senior Member) was a rank of the German Schutzstaffel which was used between the years 1942 and 1945. The rank of Obermann was exclusive to the Allgemeine-SS. It is equivalent to the Waffen-SS rank of Oberschütze. The insignia for Obermann was a silver pip centered on the upper left sleeve of the grey SS field uniform. Some photographic evidence indicates this insignia was also worn on the black parade uniform, were it would be centered on the sleeve above the swastika armband. However, more often than not, an Obermann wearing the black SS uniform would not display additional insignia other than the blank collar patch of an SS-Mann.
