Kurt Daluege
In April 1942, on Adolf Hitler's personal authority, the rank of SS-"" was first bestowed. The appointment was to Nazi Party treasurer and RZM chief Franz Xaver Schwarz. On the same day orders were issued for a dual promotion within the "Ordnungspolizei", making Kurt Daluege a "Generaloberst der Polizei" at the same time. Daluege's rank was the only police promotion to this rank.
