 Colonel General - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Colonel General (Generaloberst) was the second-highest rank in the Austrian Army, introduced following the German model in 1915.
A Colonel General (Generaloberst) was the second highest General Officer rank — below Field Marshal (Generalfeldmarschall) — in the Prussian Army and later in the Army of Imperial Germany (1871–1918), the Reichswehr (1918–1935), and the Wehrmacht (1935–1945).
Unlike the German Generaloberst (which it most probably calqued), the Soviet and Russian Colonel General rank is neither an exceptional nor a rare one, because it occupies the position below that reserved for a full General.
