Kommodore (pronounced kom-o-'dor-eh) was the highest senior officer rank (German: Stabsoffizier Rang) in the German Kriegsmarine, comparable to commodore in anglophone naval forces.[1] There was no counterpart in the German Heer and Luftwaffe, but Kommodore would have been comparable to Oberführer in the Waffen-SS.
