 * Erich von Falkenhayn, General of the Infantry, Prussian Minister of War, Chief of the General Staff OHL/Supreme Army Command during WWI (1914–1916), Commander of: 9th Army, Heeresgruppe F, and 10th Army.
 * Erich Ludendorff, General of the Infantry, Third Supreme Command, Chief of the General Staff in the East, First Generalquartiermeister which made him joint head OHL/Supreme Army Command (with Paul von Hindenburg), and chief engineer behind the management of Germany's effort in World War I.
 * no-one is stopping you from editing the article to reflect what the sources you have produced say about the comparative rank in the Imperial Army. Go right ahead, just don't relate them to the Wehrmacht ranks. Peacemaker67 (send... over) 04:58, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
