Did the SS have chaplains? also, did Wehrmacht units have chaplains - was it a military regulation?
At what level - company, battallion?

(1) The Wehrmacht had chaplains, the SS did not. No chaplains were assigned to the Luftwaffe; but, on occasion, chaplains from other arms ministered to Luftwaffe personnel (Bergen, 2001).

(2) Prior to the introductions of conscription (1935), there were only 8 full-time chaplains (all denominations), supervised by two military bishops. By 1942, there were some 480 Protestant chaplains and probably a similar number of Catholic chaplains; the total was roughly one-quarter of that in WW1. It seems that no new chaplains were appointed after 1942, although there was no dearth of applicants. Applicants had to be born before 1909 (but there were exceptions), had to be approved by the base commander, the military bishop, the Ministry of Church Affairs, and they had to have a Gestapo clearance (Bergen, 1997).

(3) I don't know to what units they were assigned; but, given their number, they could not have been assigned to units below the regiment level.
