Reichsmarschall (German: Reichsmarschall des Großdeutschen Reiches; lit.'Reich Marshal of the Greater German Reich') was a rank and the highest military office in the Wehrmacht specially created for Hermann Göring during World War II. It was senior to the rank of Generalfeldmarschall, which was previously the highest rank in the Wehrmacht.[1] In other states, the approximate equivalent would be the rank of generalissimo.
