In addition, Goering held the unique rank of "Reichsmarshall" which outranked a plain old Field Marshal (Generalfeldmarschall) and would be equivalent to a six star US general were such a rank to currently exist. This was part of Hitler's nomination of Goering as his designated successor. Goering was of course subordinate to Hitler who was, as German head of state, commander in chief of all German forces (but that is of course usually a position not a rank as such).

For WWII at least, from bottom up, a Generalmajor wore an insignia without stars, a Generalleutnant wore an insignia with one star, a General (of Infantry, Cavalry, etc.) wore an insignia with two stars, a Generaloberst (literally, colonel-general) wore an insignia with three stars, and a Generalfeldmarschall wore an insignia with two diagonally crossed marshal batons. So their insignia had one star less than their American equivalents, the names of the ranks were not exact translantions of the American ones, and there were only four ranks, including that of Marshal.
