Remarks

1.	Truppe is replaced by the respective branch: Artillerie, Fallschirmtruppen, Flakartillerie, Flieger, Gebirgstruppen, Infanterie, Kavallerie, Luftnachrichtentruppen, Luftwaffe, Nachrichtentruppen, Panzertruppen, Pioniere
2.	I have conflicting references that put both the Flotillenadmiral and the Konteradmiral on the same comparative ranking. Please mail me if you know for sure.
3.	This rank is sometimes referred to as "General der Waffen-SS"
4.	Instead of "Schütze" other branches use: Flieger, Kanonier, ...

Contributions and corrections are welcome.
