The Changing of the Guard
A New Chapter
Himmler Addresses the SS

Berlin, 8. Juli. A new chapter has begun within the Corps.

After a period of service at the head of the organization, Volnyblok has formally stepped down from the office of Reichsführer-SS. His departure marks the end of one phase and the beginning of another, as the Corps prepares to move forward under new leadership.

In his time as Reichsführer-SS, Volnyblok oversaw a difficult but important period of organization, stabilization, and internal development. His decision to step aside allows the office to transition cleanly and ensures that the Corps may continue its work without uncertainty or delay.

Following this transition, Dex has assumed the office of Reichsführer-SS.

The appointment comes at a critical moment. With new systems being prepared, officer advancement being reorganized, and the Junkerschule infrastructure beginning to take shape, the office of Reichsführer-SS will now be expected to provide firm direction, clear expectations, and renewed discipline across the organization.

This change is not a pause in the work of the Corps. It is the continuation of it.

Under Himmler (dex), immediate attention will be placed on restoring structure, strengthening communication between offices, and ensuring that advancement within the Corps reflects merit, maturity, and dedication. The days ahead will require cooperation from every branch, every officer, and every NCO.

Leadership may change, but the responsibility of the Corps remains.

All members are expected to respect the transition, continue their duties, and prepare for the coming reforms.

A New Standard for the Corps
— JUNKERSCHULEN —

Berlin, 8. Juli. The coming month will mark a turning point in the development of the Corps. With the continued growth of the organization, the need for structure, discipline, and clear advancement has become impossible to ignore. Rank can no longer be treated as a reward for presence alone. It must represent trust, responsibility, and proven ability.

To support this new standard, the leadership has authorized the establishment of a formal officer training system. Applications will open shortly for the first class of candidates, with only one class accepted at the beginning of each month. Those selected will undergo instruction, evaluation, and review before graduation near the end of the month.

This system is not designed to flood the Corps with officers. It is designed to ensure that those who hold authority understand what that authority requires.

Appointments to the Junkerschule

Berlin, 8. Juli. Konrad Grimm has been appointed Kommandant der SS-Junkerschule Bad Tölz and will oversee the daily administration, instruction, and discipline of the school.

Wilhelm Adalbert Hosenfeld has been appointed Inspekteur der Junkerschulen and will supervise the wider development of the Junkerschule system across the nation.

Together, Grimm and Hosenfeld will begin building the infrastructure necessary to support applications, instruction, standards, and graduation procedures.

What This Means for NCOs

Berlin, 8. Juli. NCOs will remain the backbone of the Corps. Their leadership in the field, their ability to maintain order, and their conduct among enlisted men will now matter more than ever.

Those who wish to advance beyond the NCO corps will be expected to prove themselves through consistent service, maturity, and command presence. The Junkerschule will not replace field experience. It will refine it.
