Those volunteers, simple soldiers at the time of enlistment, that show the required aptitude, can be admitted to the officer and NCO schools of the Waffen-SS. Admittance to these schools will not be determined by the candidates’ diplomas or university degrees, but solely by their proven personal qualities and aptitude for command.
French officers and NCOs will have the opportunity of regaining their ranks and receiving commands after attending a course at the Waffen-SS officer and NCO schools. The courses will include instruction and examination in capacity and aptitude for command.
In addition, those simple soldier volunteers showing the required aptitudes could also be admitted to the same schools.
Basically no difference is made between volunteers in the Waffen-SS, they all undergo the German Waffen-SS regime.
The Waffen-SS being the big family of the new Europe’s young combatants, the French volunteers will have exactly the same duties and obligations, but also the same advantages, as their German, Nowegian, Danish, Dutch, Fleming, Walloon or Swiss comrades.
