The rank of ''SS-Bewerber'' was also occasionally used in the ''[[Waffen-SS]]'', but merely as a title for an SS recruit who had yet to report for initial in-processing and basic training. An SS-''Bewerber'' was rarely issued a uniform or any type of insignia. In the few cases where a uniform was provided, a basic [[SS uniform]] would be worn without any insignia.{{Citation needed|date=December 2011}}

SS-Bewerber or Staffel-Bewerber ([bəˈvɛʁbɐ]; "SS-Applicant") was an SS rank used in Nazi Germany from 1934 to 1945. The rank of SS-Bewerber was the lowest possible SS rank and was assigned to those personnel who were candidates in the SS. The rank was used in the Allgemeine-SS as a prelude to appointment as an SS-Anwärter (recruit).[1]

Within the Allgemeine-SS, the rank of SS-Bewerber was (more often than not) used simply as an administrative title while a background investigation was being conducted on a potential SS member. Typically this would involve a criminal history check, political reliability screening, and investigation into the prospective SS member's racial background.[citation needed]
