On the morning of 4 June 1942 at Immola airfield near Imatra, Seidel was the first German general to arrive, followed within a few hours by Generaloberst Hans-Jürgen Stumpff, Generaloberst Eduard Dietl, and then Feldmarschall Wilhelm Keitel who accompanied Hitler.
During the night of 28–29 April, Hitler ordered that three copies of his political testament be hand-delivered to Field Marshal Ferdinand Schörner in Czechoslovakia, Karl Dönitz in Schleswig-Holstein, and Paul Giesler in Tegernsee by Lorenz, Willy Johannmeyer, and Martin Bormann's adjutant SS-Standartenführer Wilhelm Zander, respectively.
In 1796 Fröhlich was promoted to Feldmarschall-Leutnant and commanded a mixed column of Austrian, Émigré and Kreis-Armee soldiers on the left wing of the Army of the Upper Rhine under Dagobert Sigmund von Wurmser.
In 1631, after Torquato Conti retired from his post, von Tiefenbach was elevated to the rank of Feldmarschall by the Holy Roman Emperor.
