In which year was this Nazi Party paramilitary rank created that Emil Ketterer belonged?
Obergruppenführer Obergruppenführer (] , "senior group leader") was a Nazi Party paramilitary rank that was first created in 1932 as a rank of the "Sturmabteilung" (SA), and adopted by the "Schutzstaffel" (SS) one year later. Until April 1942, it was the highest commissioned SS rank, inferior only to "Reichsführer-SS" (Heinrich Himmler or RFSS, which was the internal SS-abbreviation for Himmler) Translated as "senior group leader", the rank of "Obergruppenführer" was senior to "Gruppenführer". A similarly named rank of "Untergruppenführer" existed in the SA from 1929 to 1930 and as a title until 1933. In April 1942, the new rank of "SS-Oberst-Gruppenführer" was created which was above "Obergruppenführer" and below "Reichsführer-SS".
Government of Nazi Germany The Government of Nazi Germany was a dictatorship run according to the "Führerprinzip". As the successor to the government of the Weimar Republic, it inherited the government structure and institutions of the previous state. Although the Weimar Constitution technically remained in effect until Germany's surrender in 1945, there were no actual restraints on the exercise of state power. In addition to the already extant government of the Weimar Republic, the Nazi leadership created a large number of different organizations for the purpose of helping them govern and remain in power. They rearmed and strengthened the military, set up an extensive state security apparatus and created their own personal party army, which in 1940 became known as the Waffen-SS.
