Gefreiter
A Gefreiter is an advanced Flieger who has proven him/herself not only reliable on the field, but also ideologically sound. Gefreiters are the men and women who are at the forefront of most assaults. They are slowly realising the extent of what they must do in order to help spread the Volksrevolution, their experience becoming more and more considerable each day, their names steadily finding their way onto the Rheinland Police' suspected terrorists list.

Granted use of shared RHA support accounts
Pilots who become Leutnants are those who are beginning to succumb to the gritty reality of the battlefield in the Omega systems and the civil war within Rheinland itself. Still idealistic and courageous, they now know the extent of the terror that their enemies are willing to inflict upon them, if only to break their will. So they thrust their ships into the heat of the battle, only to emerge victorious as they find themselves accomplishing feats of extraordinary skill and prowess, with Hessian generals silently starting to look at them as future commanders of their ever growing fleet of fighters.
Bonus given:
Granted use of shared RHA gunboat accounts (at the leaders convenience)
Granted use of gunboats
By the time a Red Hessian Army pilot reaches the rank of Oberleutnant, the Oberleutnant is more than well aware of the acts of the Red Hessian movement, all in order to assure the flow of supplies to the cause. Becoming more cynical by the day, the Oberleutnant nonetheless unquestioningly commands the raiding squads and diamond smuggling rackets within the Army, in order to assure the continued operation of the Hessian gears of war. But regardless of this, the pilot is still committed to what he believes is right. The Oberleutnant regards his/her duties as but a necessary evil on his homeland's and his/her own way to freedom from fascism.
Bonus given:
Granted use of shared RHA cruiser accounts
Granted use of cruisers
A Red Hessian Army Hauptmann is a seasoned veteran, thinking in terms of long term strategy more so than morality. He/she is now a higher officer, and frequently takes command of the troops on the field in the absence of other, more experienced Hessian fighters and officers. The Hauptmann is not afraid -- and even used to pulling the trigger of a weapon directed at his/her enemies, not at all haunted by remorse for his actions nor his enemies. He/she is slowly becoming cold and calculated, a true hammer of the Volksrevolution, and that alone brings him respect among his fellow peers.
Bonus given:
Granted use of shared RHA battleship accounts
Granted use of battleships
A Major of the Red Hessian Army is an individual who has proven to the whole movement that he/she has what it takes to lead the Hessian masses of displaced workers and miners to their inevitable victory. He/she now is a part of the group surrounding the Brigadegenerals, and knows by name all the great commanders of the movement. A Red Hessian Army Major is an individual equally revered and feared by his soldiers, mainly for his unparalleled effectiveness in battle and a devotion to the cause bordering on fanaticism. He/she participates in all important decisions of the group, and sometimes even the movement. His/her appearance on the battlefield strikes fear into the hearts of the enemy, as those who can comprehend it know full well that they are then facing the best of what their opponents have to offer.
