Talk:Grand Marshal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Reichsmarshall
I see this rank is being removed from the list of military equivalents. The rank translates as "Imperial Marshal" and has been listed often as "Grand Marshal" or "Empire Marshal". The Dae marshal ranks are also listed and their translations are even shakier than that. Why should it not be listed amongst the military titles? -Husnock 21:56, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
- An exclusively German title must be understood and treated as logical according to the German semantics- Großmarschall, the literal and true equivalent of Grand Marshal, exists and has absolutely nothing to do with Reichsmarshal. It might be correct to challenge the Korean title equally, but lacking the actual Korean translation and context I can't pronounce on that one. -User:Fastifex
- As this is now a list article, it defines to list ranks associated with the title, not pure exact translations (if that were the case, we would have to remove the japanese and korean versions as neither of them are literal translations). In addition, RM is often listed on rank comparison charts as an equivalent of a Grand Marshal. I actually have not heard of the military German rank of Großmarschall. Where does that exist? Please also watch your reverts, as your recent change wiped out the change of this article to a list article. -Husnock 14:53, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
- If you look in <http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gro%C3%9Fmarschall>, you will see the following bullet point concerning Großmarschall: "Vergleichbar ist auch der Reichsmarschall des Dritten Reiches". English: "Comparable is also the realm marshal of the third realm." 68.152.95.130 19:39, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
