Generaloberst, in English Colonel General, was, in Germany and Austria-Hungary—the German "Reichswehr" and "Wehrmacht", the Austro-Hungarian Common Army, and the East German National People's Army, as well as the respective police services—the second highest general officer rank, ranking above full general but below general field marshal.
 It was equivalent to "Generaladmiral" in the "Kriegsmarine" until 1945, or to Flottenadmiral in the "Volksmarine" until 1990.
 The rank was the highest ordinary military rank and the highest military rank awarded in peacetime; the higher rank of general field marshal was only awarded in wartime by the head of state.
 In general, a Generaloberst had the same privileges as a general field marshal. Lieutenant field marshal
Lieutenant field marshal, also frequently historically field marshal lieutenant (German: "Feldmarschall-Leutnant" , formerly "Feldmarschallleutnant", historically also "Feldmarschall-Lieutenant" and, in official Imperial and Royal Austrian army documents from 1867 always "Feldmarschalleutnant", abbreviated "FML"), was a senior army rank in certain European armies of the 17th to 20th centuries.
 It emerged as the rank of field marshal (German: "Feldmarschall" ) came to be used for the highest army commander in the 17th century (having originally been the equivalent of a cavalry colonel).
 In German-speaking countries the commander-in-chief usually appointed an "under marshal" ("Untermarschall") or "lieutenant field marshal" to support and represent the field marshal.
 Amongst his functions as the personal deputy to the field marshal, were the supervision of supply depots and routes, and inspection of the guards. Nir Shamsher Jang Bahadur Rana
Born on 11 Poush, 1970 B.S. (1913) in Jawalakhel Durbar, Jawalakhel, Lalitpur, Field Marshal Rana died at the age of 99.
 He was son of the then ruling Rana Prime Minister Judha Shumsher Rana and his third wife Mahila Maharani (née Musa "Nani Sahib").
 According to a statement, the centenarian Field Marshal had joined the then Royal Nepal Army (RNA) at the age of 18 on 1 Shrawan 1988 B.S (1931) and was appointed to the post of Major at the Shri Pashupati Prasad Battalion.
 He became the Commander-in-Chief of the RNA on 15 Baisakh, 2017 B.S (1960) and retired on 15 Baisakh in 2022 B.S (1965).
 He was appointed Field Marshal after his retirement in 2022 B.S. Kodandera M. Cariappa
