Guest Rick Research Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Seniority within that date of rank.Here is a sample page from the secret 1 May 1944 Seniority List that Glenn found:It was much more complicated in Imperial times when seniority suffixes could be something like W22w.Officer Rank "X" on 01.02.4X #2 was senior to Officer Rank "X" promoted on 01.02.4X #3.Bear in mind that SENIORITY of German officer ranks often had nothing to do with WHEN they were actually promoted, since seniority could be retroactive, accelerated, or changed so the same person might have TWO "rank dates" while in the same rank over time. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
