Best Answer

The highest rank he achieved was equivalent to Lance Corporal or Private First Class (Gefreiter in German). This is a non commissioned officer rank below that of Sergeant. In the United States military that would be equivalent to E-4 or E-3.

He served in the 16th Bavarian Reserve Regiment of the Reichsheer (German Army). His service lasted four years (1914 to 1918) and he saw combat in several notable military engagements. His primary role was that of a message runner.

Although Hitler was decorated with the the Iron Cross First Class and the Iron Cross Second Class (similar to a Purple Heart) for his military service, this is not a rank; it is an award of distinction. A rank is the level of leadership an individual is given during his military service.
