	Ranks and insignia of the Ordnungspolizei - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ordnungspolizei ranks were based on local police titles and were considered a separate system from the ranks of the SS.
		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: ObergruppenfÃ¼hrer und General der Polizei).
		In 1944 all Orpo Generals also gained equivalent Waffen-SS rank so that, in the event of capture by the Allies, the Orpo General would hold status as a military officer instead of a police official.
