anshef

[Denis Akhapkine]

AK> Could anyone help me translate the word "anshef"?
GENERAL-ANSHEF (franc. en chief) eto voinskoe zvanie generalov russkoj
armii. Vvedeno Ustavom voinskim 1716: general-anshef po etomu ustavu -
glavnokomanduyush'ij, po rangu ravnyj fel'dmarshalu.
So vtoroy pol. 18 v. general-anshef uzhe nizhe fel'dmarshala.
Po Ustavu 1796-97 eto zvanie zameneno zvaniem generala roda voysk (general
ot infanterii, general ot artillerii i t.d.).
