Is the rank Standartenführer the same as the rank Colonel?

I'm not sure: Colonel (Oberst) ist a regualar military Rank (Wehrmacht)
Standartenführer is a SS-Rank.

The SS (Sturmstaffel/Storm Squad) were special elite forces foundet
by the Nazis. They use strange (funny sounding) rank names.

Perhaps they're taken from ancient military ranks or are just fantasy...

Update: Standartenführer means "Flag"- or "Banner"- "chief" or somthing linke that...
Update2: Yes I discovered the mistake too while translating...

No mistake here.
SS Standartenfuehrer == Wehrmacht Oberst == Colonel.

What's strange and funny in these rank names?

Standartenfuehrer means "Chief of the regiment".
Standarte means not only the Flag/Banner ;)

Because they sound strange in German, non military and a
kind of fantasy like...

Standarteführer=Banner-Carrier

Every army has own military ranks. SS has them too. From Schuetze to Reichsfuehrer.

Again, in this context Standarte doesn't mean flag. It mean regiment - large group of soldiers :)

Compare:
Rottenfuehrer - leader of the team (Rotte)
Sturmbannfuehrer - leader of the battalion (Sturm)
Standartenfuehrer - leader of the regiment (Standarte)
