Sturmbannführer was a paramilitary rank of the German Party which was used by both the Sturmabteilung and the Schutzstaffel. Translated as “Assault (or Storm) Unit Leader” (Sturmbann being the SA and early SS equivalent to a battalion), the rank originated from German Shock Troop units of the First World War where the title of Sturmbannführer would occasionally be held by the Battalion Commander.
