Gauführer
Military rank of SS from 1925 to 1929 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gauführer was an early paramilitary rank used by the Schutzstaffel (SS) between 1925 and 1929. Translated as "SS-region leader", the SS-Gauführer had command of several SS-Stafflen which were in turn commanded by an SS-Staffelführer.

The rank of Gauführer was influenced by the similar named Nazi Party position of Gauleiter. The insignia for a Gauführer was a swastika armband with two white stripes.
The rank of SS-Gauführer ceased to exist in 1929 when the SS-Gaus were re-consolidated into new SS units known as SS-Oberführerbereiche, each commanded by an SS-Oberführer.
