 The Rank of Field Marshal.... - Wehrmacht-Awards.com Militaria Forums
Emperor Wilhelkm the Second bore the title of field marshal and grand admiral, but his assumption of the title "fieldmarshal of the prussian army" was not published in the military press because Wilhelm considered both baton and title undeserved honors.
During the twenty-six years of peace following his ascension to the throne in 1888 he was often seen and portrayed with his marshal's baton in hand, but during WWI he never carried it, although nominally he was the absolute supreme commander.
These promotions were partly due to the growth in the size of the Army and Navy, and partly due to politics among the Allies.

(One important Soviet spy, Shabtai Kalmanovitch, whose job at one point was to ease the resettlement of Russian emigrants in Israel, was arrested in 1987.) It was reasonably assumed in the aftermath of Pollard, the admiral added, that Soviet spies inside Israel had been used to funnel some of the Pollard material to Moscow.
