e/Fähnrich

Information
has gloss	eng: Fähnrich (officer candidate) is a German and Austrian military rank in armed forces which has no direct comparison in the English speaking world. The rank also exists in a few other European military organizations, often with historical ties to the German system. Examples are Sweden and Finland (see Fänrik). The French Army has a similar position called an Aspirant). A Fähnrich is a soldier who serves in the ranks, first as a junior non-commissioned officer then in subsequent grades equivalent to Unterfeldwebel (until 1945, now Unteroffizier), Feldwebel, and Oberfeldwebel (until 1945, now Hauptfeldwebel). The end goal is to create an officer out of the Fähnrich.
