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)
