Volksturm Question

[Weird WWII]

Does anyone know if the Volksturm had any kind of visible ranking?  I figure there had to be section leaders and even maybe some officers?  If you know let me know because I'm about to do up a couple units of Volk and want to get them right.

I didn't find any information on the subject when I painted my zug

So I painted 10 men squads (8 rifles + a MG team) and I added some heer/ss NCOs for command purpose.

Great info Portly!  Now my opponents snipers can identify my NCOs
