ヴェルナー・フォン・ブロンベルク
Before World War II, Adolf Hitler reintroduced the rank into the Wehrmacht with the promotion of the Reich Minister of War, Colonel General Werner von Blomberg (20 April 1936) and Aviation Minister Hermann Göring (4 February 1938) to the rank of "Generalfeldmarschall". In the "Wehrmacht" of Nazi Germany during World War II, the rank of "Generalfeldmarschall" remained the highest military rank until July 1940, when Hermann Göring was promoted to the newly created higher rank of "Reichsmarschall". The equivalent of a "Generalfeldmarschall" in the navy was "Großadmiral" ("grand admiral").
