Entry number 7050 is for Rudolf Höß (Höss), in 1936 employed as a Block-führer at Dachau concentration camp. His NSDAP membership number was 3240 (he joined the Nazi Party in 1922 after hearing Hitler speak in Munich). He applied for SS membership in September 1933 and was accepted in April 1934. He moved up in rank to SS-Obersturmbannführer and from May 1940 on (with a break between November 1943 and May 1944) he was commander of Auschwitz concentration camp. Höß was handed over to the Polish autho-rities in 1946, sentenced to death and hanged on 16 April 1947 close to the former crematorium of Auschwitz I.

Entry number 578 lists Karl-Otto Koch (August 2, 1897 – April 5, 1945), the SS-Standartenführer who was the first commandant of the concentration camps Buchenwald and Sachsenhausen. He later also became commander of the Majdanek concentration camp. He was relieved from that position in 1942 after the escape of a number of Russian prisoners. Koch was accused to have stolen property of prisoners (which technically belonged to the SS) and therefor tried by the SS. The trial resulted in Koch being sentenced to death for disgracing both himself and the SS. He was executed by firing squad on 5 April 1945.

THIS IS THE ORIGINAL, NOT THE REPRINT!!

The 8-1/2 x 11-1/2 inch, 296 page hardcover book was published 1936 by order of Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler's SS-Personalamt. It was printed at the Reichsdruckerei in Berlin. The SS-Dienstalterslisten (in German: Dienstaltersliste der Schutzstaffel der NSDAP; English: SS Officers list) was an official listing of all SS officers of the middle and higher officer corps. They appeared in book form.

On 1 October 1934 the SS-Personalamt published the first SS Officiers list, which contained a listing of all officers from the Untersturmführer to the Reichsführer-SS.

Apart from the dates of birth the lists also contained all honors and medals which the SS member had received in the First World War. Furthermore all honors of the NSDAP and all German sport honors were noted in the SS Officiers list. The NSDAP and SS number of the officer was also noted. Any membership in the Lebensborn and all SS honors were noted. The SS Officiers lists served internally as the proof of the transports of the Officier corps of the SS (SS-Offizierskorps) with all respective transport data.

These SS Officiers lists were meant for the addition of the SS-Stammrollen and were not for the public distribution.

The first four editions (1934, 1935, 1936 and 1937) also listed all members accepted to the SS as "SS-Ehrenführer" or honorary titles in the SS (Rudolf Hess, Walter Buch and others). These were usually registered with no SS number. Rather they were assigned to as an SS-Standarte, a Oberabschnitt or a Stammabteilung.

Starting in 1936 all police officers were specified in the SS-Dienstalterslisten. From 1 December 1938 these honorary SS members were provided by the Stab Reichsführer-SS with an SS membership number.

The SS Officiers lists were published until 1945 and beginning in 1942 were arranged by: Name, first name, date of birth, SS number and function.

On 1 July 1944 the Dienstaltersliste der Waffen-SS aka Officiers list of the Waffen-SS appeared. In this list, only the officers of the Waffen-SS were registered. This list was not printed for the public either. The copy for the SS-Personalhauptamt was the only one made.

In January 1945 the last SS Officiers list appeared. This SS Officiers list was used in 1946 for the condemnation of SS members.

The following SS-Dienstalterliste's were published:
