Oberstleutnant
Rank of officer in the armed forces of German-speaking countries / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oberstleutnant (German pronunciation: [ˈʔoːbɐstlɔʏtnant]) (lit. Lieutenant Superior or Superior Lieutenant) is a senior field officer rank in several German-speaking and Scandinavian countries, equivalent to lieutenant colonel.[1] It is currently used by both the ground and air forces of Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, and Norway. The Swedish rank överstelöjtnant is a direct translation, as is the Finnish rank everstiluutnantti.
