Naxos Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 (edited) Yes it is true, and for the other states as well.It is written in the Lehrbuch f?r den Infanteristen how a General officer is to be addressed, when I get home I will make a scan Edited May 2, 2009 by Naxos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joerookery Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 Thank you again! One little bit of title trivia that I discovered in my research is that a chief burgomaster was called "Magnificence," for Hamburg and L?beck. Not positive about Bremen. I tried to get my wife to call me that but it did not fly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
