Factual error: Colonel Weber is not an Oberst, but an SS-Oberführer. Given all his men are also SS, there is no likelihood they would use an army rank to address him, especially one that is junior to his actual rank.

Suggested correction: In fact, Oberst is the literal translation of the word "Colonel" into German. It would not be unusual for Germans to call a colonel by his rank in his native language (even if he is an SS colonel).
There is no chance that SS men would use an army rank when referring to an SS officer. That would be like a sailor calling a naval captain "colonel" because the ranks are equivalent.
