Lieutenant General


 

Lieutenant General is a military rank used in almost every country in the world. The rank traces its origins to the Middle Ages where the title of Lieutenant General was held by the second in command on the battlefield, normally subordinate to a Captain General.

Germany

The Bundeswehr (military of Germany) refers to the rank of Lieutenant General as Generalleutnant. In the modern age, the rank is considered a three-star equivalent, but in World War II it was more equal to a Major General.
