Gruppenfuhrer was a Nazi SS rank roughly equal to major general. In English, it translates to "group leader", which, again, was roughly the role of a division commander.

Ranks above it were Obergruppenfuhrer and Oberstgruppenfuhrer. Reichsfuhrer was reserved for Heinrich Himmler and does not really count in the rank system; Himmler was senior to all SS personnel. The rank below was Brigadefuhrer.
