Some unsourced nonsense here about how "erster Soldat" means Hitler assumes "a self-claimed rank, effectively equivalent of Generalissimo". He was already generalissimo as commander-in-chief of the armed forces since 1938. "Erster Soldat" is just a populist turn of phrase, communicating something like "I'll be marching among you like a common soldier, at the head of the column". There's not the slightest implication of any actual military position. Nor have I ever encountered this claim in thousands of pages of Hitler literature. 2A02:AA1:162A:DA5C:1D7E:8CBE:2411:BB0E (talk) 10:02, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
