Generalfeldmarschall equates to Marshal of the Luftwaffe?

I propose that the German section be removed from this article. Some countries use army rank titles for their air force officers whilst others, notably the UK, use titles which are only specific to their air force (usually including Air Marshal). Germany falls into the former category and thus does not belong on this page. In English, the ranks of countries in the first category, if translated, are given in the English language as army ranks which is consistent with the usage in the source foreign language. See the wikipedia article on Generalfeldmarschall for an example for this principle. 88.105.142.255 13:05, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
