Kommodore
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the German naval rank and position. For the roughly corresponding rank in other nation's naval forces, see Commodore (rank).
Not to be confused with Geschwaderkommodore.
Kommodore (pronounced kom-o-'dor-eh) was the highest senior officer rank (German: Stabsoffizier Rang) in the German Kriegsmarine, comparable to commodore in anglophone naval forces.[1] There was no counterpart in the German Heer and Luftwaffe, but Kommodore would have been comparable to Oberführer in the Waffen-SS.
