Karl Von Metzger is the protangonist in the book "Honor Denied" published in 2007 and purportedly the realife memoirs of a Waffen SS radio operator during the Second World War. But debate has raged since the day it was published. The authour, Paul K Harker, has resorted to a number of dubious and underhanded practices in advertising and promoting discussion of the book - which was self-published - and has consistently refused ANY proof or corroboration of Schiller's existence. Recently a concerted investigation on a number of internet history forums have revealed conclusively that not only is "Honor Denied" and its protagonist a work of fiction marketed as fact, but the author actually espouses some very extreme beliefs on Holocaust Denial, Revisionism and war crimes apologism. ***Update - Helion in the UK, the respected military history bookstore, has pulled "Honor Denied" and Harker's other book "Directive 19" from sale two weeks ago...as they "do not sell fiction"!***

Archduke Ferdinand's full name was: Franz Ferdinand Karl Ludwig Josef Von Habsburg-Lothringen
Field Marshall (Generalfeldmarschall in German) was the highest rank a German officer on the battlefield could achieve in the Wehrmacht (Defense force in German, which consited of their army, navy, airforce, and Waffen SS). There was several of them, usually in command of an army group. I'll list them to the best of my knowledge: Erwin Rommel, Friedrich Paulus (the only field marshall in Germany's history to surrender), Erwin von Witzleben, Werner von Bloemberg, Walter Model, Erich von Manstein, Paul Ludwig Ewald von Kleist, Fedor von Bock, Wilhelm Ritter von Leeb, Gerd von Rundstedt, Wilhelm Keitel, Ernst Busch, Günther von Kluge, Wilhelm List, Walther von Brauchitsch, Walther von Reichenau, Eduard von Böhm-Ermolli, Maximilian von Weichs, Erwin von Witzleben, and finally Ferdinand Schörner. I'm pretty sure I covered all of them, please make corrections if any of these are wrong. Karl Doenitz and Erich Raeder were the equivalent of the field Marshall. Also I do not believe that the German Navy had a "field Marshall" as you stated but a grand admiral which is the equivalent of the former.
