SS Obersturmbannfuhrer sounds an important job and it was, i was no Standartenführer but i was the equivalent of a Lieutenant Colonel but i wasn't just any old Nazi, i had three goes at World Domination, i was only a white cat and a hat throwing henchman away from being a real life Bond villain.  
There was no shortage of real-life supervillains in Nazi Germany at that time but i was even more super-villainy as i specialised in warfare tactics that even the Nazis considered unconventional, and that is saying something.
Before i became part of the goose stepping fraternity, i was a noted fencer and a member of the German-national team from which i gained a cool facial wound that left a large scar down the side of my face. It was during this recuperation that i began reading about this new political party called the National Socialist German Workers Party although it was about as socialist as Mussolini was skinny.
I got in early on the whole Nazi thing, and was one of the first to sign up to the organization as a bodyguard but my real role began after i got hit in the back of the head by shrapnel and was given a staff role in Berlin where i developed my taking over the World ideas.
I led the commando operation that rescued Benito Mussolini from capture, headed a plot to assassinate FDR, Churchill and Stalin and organised a Nazi underground resistance movement in Allied-occupied Europe but my big plan was to lead German soldiers to infiltrate Allied lines by using their opponents uniforms, equipment, language and customs.
After all the nasty shit i did, when they captured me they charged me with violating the laws of war by the improper use of US military insignia and the theft of US uniforms.
I was acquitted after the British admitted that they had been doing exactly the same by wearing German uniforms behind our lines and was therefore a legitimate tactic so they had to let me go or arrest the whole British army but they planned to take me to Nuremberg but i escaped by dressing in, guess what, US Military Police uniforms and so began my career of Supervillany in earnest.
I moved to Spain and spearheaded the ODESSA Network along with some of the guys behind the Hitler Youth movement with the aim of rescuing and recruiting all the ex-Nazis in hiding around the world with the intent of world domination.  
That didn't work out so after training the Egyptian Army, acting as advisor to the Argentinian President Juan Perón and as a bodyguard for Eva Perón, i was recruited by the Israeli Mossad and conducted operations for the agency but then at a loose end i created the Paladin Group to hire a massive army of regular uniformed and civilian badasses to have another go taking over the World.
Unfortunately that never came off either but if you are expecting to hear that i died in a shoot out in a dormant volcano or in a malfunctioning laser incident, i disappointingly died of cancer but i had three good attempts to take over the World although what i would have done with it had i got it is another question altogether.
