Marschall der DDR

Marschall der DDR (Marshal of the German Democratic Republic), was the highest rank in the NVA, the army of the DDR. It was foundet at 25th March 1982. The reason was a strategy change in the armies of Warsaw Pact. In former times the NVA should be under command of the USSR, but it was changed, so the DDR needed a new rank.
