These two distinct sections were later retitled as the Security Service and the Secret Intelligence Service ( now commonly known as Mi5 and Mi6 respectively ) . During the First World War , Kell headed MI5 ( g ) , a section dealing with the Indian seditionist movement in Europe . Among Kell ' s officers were ex - ICS officers Robert Nathan and H . L Stephenson .

Standartenführer Standartenführer was a Nazi party paramilitary rank that was used in several Nazi organizations , such as the SA , SS , NSKK and the NSFK . First founded as a title in 1925 , in 1928 the rank became one of the first commissioned Nazi ranks and was bestowed upon those SA and SS officers who commanded units known as " Standarten " which were regiment - sized formations of between three hundred and five hundred men . In 1929 the rank of " Standartenführer " was divided into two separate ranks known as " Standartenführer ( I ) " and " Standartenführer ( II ) " . This concept was abandoned in 1930 when both the SA and SS expanded their rank systems to allow for more officer positions and thus the need for only a single " Standartenführer " rank . In 1933 , when Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany , the rank of " Standartenführer " had been established as the greatest field - officer rank , lesser than that of " Oberführer " of the SS and SA . By the start of World War II , " Standartenführer " was widely spread as both an SS rank and a rank of the SA . In the " Waffen - SS " , the rank was considered the equivalent of an " Oberst " , a full colonel . The insignia for " Standartenführer " consisted of a single oak leaf displayed on both collars . " Standartenführer " was the first of the SS and SA ranks to display rank insignia on both collars , without the display of unit insignia . From 1938 , newer SS uniforms featured the shoulder boards of a German " Oberst " in addition to the oak leaf collar patches .

His best - known work is " Riche his Farewell to Militarie Profession conteining verie pleasaunt discourses fit for a peaceable tyme " ( 1581 ) . Of the eight stories contained in it , five , he says , are forged only for delight , neither credible to be believed , nor hurtful to be perused . The three others are translations from the Italian . He claims as his own invention the story of Apolonius and Silla , the second in the collection , from which Shakespeare took the plot of " Twelfth Night " . It is , however , founded on the tale of Nicuola and Lattantio as told by Matteo Bandello . The eighth , Phylotus and Emilia , a complicated story arising from the likeness and disguise of a brother and sister , is identical in plot with the anonymous play , " Philotus " , printed in Edinburgh in 1603 . Both play and story were edited for the Bannatyne Club in 1835 . In the conclusion to his collection Rich tells a story of a devil named Balthasar , who possesses a king of Scots , prudently changed after the accession of James I to the Grand Turk . " The Strange and Wonderful Adventures of Don Simonides , a Gentleman Spaniard " ( 1581 ) , with its sequel " The Second Tome of the Travels and Adventures of Don Simonides " ( 1584 ) , is written in imitation of Lyly . Among his other romances should be mentioned " The Adventures of Brusanus , Prince of Hungaria " ( 1592 ) . His authenticated works number twenty - four , and include works on Ireland , the troubles of which were , according to him , due to the religion of the people and to the lack of consistency and firmness on the part of the English government . Such are : " Allarme to England " ( 1578 ) ; " " ( 1610 ) ; and " The Irish Hubbub , or the English Hue and Crie " ( 1617 ) , in which he also inveighs against the use of tobacco .
