The Allgemeine-SS is the name for the "General SS" which consisted of part-time mustering SS formations created under the Naki Party. The term Allgemeine-SS came into being to separate the [Waffen-SS]] (Armed SS) from the General SS. Both the Allgemeine and Waffen-SS use the same SS ranks, but maintained different criteria for promotion. Thus, it was common for an SS member to hold two SS ranks, one in the General-SS and the other in the Armed-SS.
