Please forgive me if this question has been asked dozens or even hundreds of times before (I know how it is) but why are there no German Ranks available for selection in the personal profile settings? It just seems a little odd to me so if there is a reason please let me know!

Thanks!

Jim has in the past indicated that he would be happy to include Bundeswehr ranks, but no WWII (SS) ranks. I don't think anybody ever came up with a list of (current) Bundeswehr ranks, and the corresponding sleeve and shoulder markings.

If Jim is willing to do this, I have a full set of (modern) enlisted shoulder boards (two in fact). I'd happily send him a set or high def scans so that they could be added. Love to see these ranks up and available.

Hello,

I also would appreciate the introducing of Bundeswehr ranks for the personal profile.

Hope this happens soon...
