<HTML> they are both ranks of the rank of general. a true general is a four star. the term leut. general,meaning under general,is just under the general rank bearing three stars. the actual origin of the progression and the reasons behind the lack of continuity regarding the terminology is unknown to me.
brigadier general *
major general **
leut. general ***
general ****
general of the army *****</HTML>
