| | Ranks and insignia of the Ordnungspolizei - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In the case of Orpo Generals, equivalent SS rank was always held in which case the Orpo General would be addressed by their SS rank first, followed by their police titles (Ex: Obergruppenführer und General der Polizei). | | | Ordnungspolizei ranks were based on local police titles and were considered a separate system from the ranks of the SS. | | | This page was last modified 21:45, 1 May 2005. |

| | Wehrmacht-Awards.com Militaria Forums - Foreign Officer with German Police Photo for Donald Carapella Jr |
| | I am nearly positive, after perusing an old stack of Spanish Civil War historical magazines published in Venezuela, that the foreign officer to the right is a Spaniard- it seems to have been a peculiarly Spanish practice to carry rank insignia on the cap band. | | | The cap is identical to that seen in photos of General Mola and other officers (both Nationalist and Republican), though I agree that it also resembles that worn by Bulgarian officers. | | | Querner never really had any "eastern service"; the farthest east he went was Prague. |

| | The Ordnungspolizei - Orpo |
| | This act integrated the regular German police forces in the SS, incorporating all local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies. | | | The police were divided into Orpo (Regular Police), Sipo (Security Police), and Kripo (Criminal Investigation Police). | | | The Orpo troops wore green uniforms, which is why they were commonly called "Green Police". |

| | Orpo: Ordnungspolizei (Order Police): Separate from the Gestapo and Criminal police. | | | In many of the Security offices, the lower grade CID officer can out-rank his boss with SS rank, and although this situation should not present any problems, sometimes it led to an awkward awareness within the office. | | | For the outsider, the rank alignment is very complicated: An officer can hold the rank of Kriminalkommissar but also hold a higher rank of the SS as SS-Hauptsturmführer. |

| | The Police State |
| | The Prussian police force had consisted of the uniformed or Order Police ( Ordnungpolizei - Orpo) and the plain clothed Criminal Police ( Kriminalpolizei — Kripo) which included the Political Police ( Staatspolizei — Stapo). | | | The completed police state was now in place and ready to begin its campaign of wholesale atrocity and murder. | | | The various police branches involved in the Einsatzgruppen became largely indistinguishable. |

| | Kripo members were considered full members of the Allgemeine-SS but could also hold corresponding Orpo rank. | | | A main area of the group's focus was also on "blackout burglary ", considered a serious problem during bombing raids where criminals would raid abandoned homes, shops, and factories for any available valuables. | | | Most Kripo detectives referred to themselves by police investigator titles such as Kriminalrat, instead of SS or Orpo rank. |

| | Of 95 Generalmajor der Polizei (ORPO) 46 were not members of the SS the reasons were that some did not wish to join and some did not meet the SS racial criteria | | | Sorry the rank list I have is for 1944 and does not contain the persons you quote probably because they had retired from the Police. | | | I can not find Jandl, Janka, Lichem von Löwenberg, Magerl and Münchau in the Police rank list for Generals and Oberst from 1943 or 1944. |

| | MILITARIA COLLECTING FORUM > Schupo field tunic |
| | It was only my second police item to purchase and I almost returned it because I was told it was probably a fake as it does not have brown cuffs and collar, and the rank was too high for the price I paid-350.00. | | | Next, using the name of the officer and the location of the tailor from the label, as well as his rank, I was able to find a perfect match from an old Orpo. | | | I was told by a very experenced polizei collector that the tunic was probably a fake as it was all green fabric and and the rank was for a Major. |
