'''{{lang|de|Stabschef}}''' ({{IPA|de|ʃtaːps.ʃɛf|}}, {{literally|[[Chief of staff]]}}) was an office and [[paramilitary]] rank in the {{lang|de|[[Sturmabteilung]]}} (SA), the paramilitary stormtroopers associated with the [[Nazi Party]]. It was a rank and position held by the operating chief of the SA. The rank was equivalent to the rank of {{lang|de|[[Generaloberst]]}} in the [[German Army (1935–1945)|German Army]] and to [[General (United States)|General]] in the [[United States Army|U.S. Army]].{{sfn|Campbell|1998|p=163}}
