Category:Generalarzt

A General Surgeon (German: Generalarzt) of the German Army was from 1934 to 1945 a general's rank equivalent to a Major General. The Generalstabsarzt was equivalent to a Lieutenant General and the Generaloberstabsarzt (also Generaloberstabsveterinär for the veterinary corps) to a General der Waffengattung. Before c. 1910, the Major General rank was the Generalarzt I. Class (later Obergeneralarzt) whereas the Generalarzt II. Class (renamed Oberstarzt in June 1934) was equivalent to a Colonel. Subsequently, the equivalent naval ranks of the Kriegsmarine were Admiralarzt, Admiralstabsarzt and Admiraloberstabsarzt.
