I think they were either oberleutnants or oberscharfuhrers. Probably the first one. I don't have any images, but the rank things were on the shoulder strap and collar.

The rank of your commander depends on what vehicle he commands. A platoonleader will most probably be a Leutnant or Oberleutnant. In some cases it will be a Feldwebel when in lack of officer due to casualities etc. In the platoon you will have different type of Feldwebels commanding the platoons tanks. Then you will have the coy cmdr (Hauptmann/Major) the Batallion cmdr. (Oberstleutnant) etc, etc.
There are probably some guys here who knows much more about this subject, but I hope this helps a bit.

Cheers
