Mein Herr, you have got the wrong Von Braun. Herman Goering headed the Luftwaffe as Reichsmarschall- a rank specifically created for Him as Commanding Marshal of the Luftwaffe. There was no equivalent US Rank, Gen. HH. Hap Arnold was a General of the Army- that"s all ( at the time, and the song still reflects this- the Air Force was technically part of the Army).
