There were no 6th star generals in ww2
No. He was a four star general. He may have become a 5 star general had he lived longer. However, in December of 1945 he was in a car accident and was paralyzed from the neck down. After a few weeks, he succumbed to his injuries. And there were 5 star generals at the time. Eisenhower, Marshall, and MacArthur were all 5 star generals.
As of a count earlier this year, 7. I don't know the break-down among Brig. General, Maj. General, Lt. General, 1 Lt. (3-star) General and at least 2 Maj. (2-star) Generals. I'm assuming the rest are Brig (1-star) Generals, but I could be off on the exact numbers. I would look at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, OH, for more information about them. I know at least 2 are stationed there, 1 Lt. General and 1 (newly-pinned) Maj. General. The 1980 class of the Air Force Academy Colorado was the first to graduate women and is the main source of Generals. As more women graduate into the officer ranks, we will see more and more Generals in time. Only the US Army has a 4 star General at this time.
In 1945, the US Army had a total of 188 generals, including 5 four-star generals, 24 three-star generals, 60 two-star generals, and 99 one-star generals. This was a significant increase from the 23 generals in 1939, reflecting the expansion of the Army during World War II. The high number of generals was necessary to oversee the large number of troops and complex operations during the war.

There are currently 40 active duty officers of 4 star rank (generals & admirals) in U.S. Forces. There appear to be well over 200 living retired 4 star generals.

There are no generals in the Navy. The navy has admirals. The full compliment of officers varies with promotions and retirements.
As of 2005 the armed forces released there were currently 86 "Major Generals" (2 star). However specific names are generally withheld outside of 4-5 star generals for security purposes.
