British SS Titles

Can anyone tell me a good site that talks foreign SS divisions? Would Edward have dropped the whole Windsor thing?
 
I always laugh imagining an English SS making extremely literal translations of its German counterpart's ranks, i.e. "That is an excellent appraisal of the situation, Headstormleader!"

Hahaha, classic, love it!

What would the 'real' British equivalents be? Would the British SS use British army ranks? Or would there be an Anglo-Saxon, 'traditional' bent to the titles? Karl? Thegn? Reeve?

There's kind of two directions they could go. The more traditionally-minded "King and Country" fascists would probably use the traditional rank terms, maybe slightly modified. The more esoteric crank fascists would probably revel in having super Anglo-Saxon/medieval titles like Reeve or Thane. Maybe even regress "sheriff" to "shire-reeve" as some sort of Gauleiter equivalent (not SS, but could be used by the Fascist puppet government).

Personally, I'd bet on the latter. If you're gonna do fanatical Germanic nationalism, why hold back?
