NSKK
"Sturmmann" was senior to the rank of "Mann" in the "Allgemeine-SS" (general-SS). In organizations which did not use the rank of "Mann" (such as the National Socialist Motor Corps), the rank of "Sturmmann" was the equivalent of a private and wore a blank collar patch with no insignia. Within the Waffen-SS, an "SS-Sturmmann" was senior to an "SS-Oberschütze".
