 * While Army and Air-force ranks were pretty much identical, the Air-force ranks had blue background (except for the General-ranks).
 * Prior to about 1985 (or a bit later), General had 3 stars, Generalløytnant had 2 stars, and Generalmajor had 1 star.
 * Prior to about 1990 (or a bit earlier), General had 4 stars, Generalløytnant had 3 stars, and Generalmajor had 2 stars. There were no "General-rank" with 1 star.
 * Prior to about 1990 (or a bit earlier), there were two Colonel ranks - Oberst II with 3 stars, and Oberst I with 4 stars.
 * The enlisted ranks shown were only used in the 2010s (or so), between apx. 1990 to 2010 the distinctions were different (simpler). There were also a ranks for "Grenader" (sprigs), "UB-korporal" (K) and "Student" (S).
