Hauptmann Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 Hello GentlemenDoes Hungary has a Fieldmarshal during the WW2?RegardsAlexandreHi Alexandre,Would assume so as they definitely had the rank. This is from "The Armed Forces of WWII" by Andrew Mollo. Illustrations by Malcolm McGregor and Pierre Turner.This is the rank chart for the Army:[attachmentid=52273]And just the Field Marshal rank:[attachmentid=52274]Again if any objections to these being posted I'll be happy to remove it. Hope this helps. Perhaps one of the other members can confirm if there were indeed Hungarian FM's during the war and if so how many and perhaps who they were.Dan
Ed_Haynes Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 Steen Ammentorp's fine site lists a lot of "Lieutenant-Field Marshal" fellows but -- on a quick scan -- no full field marshals turned up. You may wish to check for yourself:http://www.generals.dk/nation/Hungary.html
Steen Ammentorp Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 No Hungarian was promoted Field Marshal during the war, though Erzherzog Joseph (1863-1954) wore the uniform of Hungarian Field Marshal during the war as his ww1 K.u.K. rank as a Feldmarschall was recognised in Hungary.He did of course not serve in any military capacity but as you know a Field Marshal never retires.Kind RegardsSteen AmmentorpThe Generals of World War II

Field Marshal Archduke Eugen was the one from 1863 to 1954. I don't think he spent much time, if any, in Hungary after World War I.Field Marshal Archduke Friedrich lived in Hungary after World War I, and died there in 1936.
Steen Ammentorp Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 Thank you for the correction. Somehow I always mixup Joseph and Eugen Kind RegardsSteen AmmentorpThe Generals of World War II
