Talk:Army Group Upper Rhine

High Command vs Army Group
I made some changes in the article to clear up terminology. English language sources refer to this command as an "Army Group". This is an improper translation (the German term for army group is Heeresgruppe). Oberkommando means "High Command", and as such, OB Oberrhein was at the same level in the German command structure as OB West. In the article, I refer to the command as "Army Group Oberrhein" because that is how it is commonly referred to in English-language sources, such as Riviera to the Rhine, but the true echelon of the command and its implications are mentioned. The article's former use of "Army Group Upper Rhine" has been discontinued as this is nothing more than a direct translation of the command's name, although it is sometimes seen in literature as well. As well, the use of Oberrhein in the article versus "Upper Rhine" follows the lead of the article's title.

Additionally, the command relationship of OB Oberrhein to OKW and Hitler are now brought out in the article's lead paragraph.
