WS160 Panzer Tank Ace (King and Country WS160)

"Giesen wears the famous black tanker's jacket over Italian camouflage trousers. He destroyed 111 enemy tanks and self propelled guns… mostly on the Eastern Front."

In the Waffen SS they didn't call an officer " Sir". The Waffen SS was a kind of "army of the people", with equality between the officiers and the low ranks.

So there was no formalities between officiers and privates, they could even tutoyer. Sometimes, in the Waffen SS, a chief could be a simple non-comissioned officer, sometimes elected by the troops because of his braveness.
