Editing Generalmajor (section)

===Insignia===
The first official uniform was instituted on 29 September 1737.{{sfn|Petersen|2014|p=31}} The first few uniform designs have not survived, though they were likely red, highly ornamented [[Justacorps|coats without collar]].{{sfn|Petersen|2014|pp=31-32}} The red coat remained until 1768, when [[Claude Louis, Comte de Saint-Germain|Comte de Saint-Germain]] instituted white uniforms for generals, these were however removed shortly after, in 1769.{{sfn|Petersen|2014|p=36}} In 1772, the first real ranks were introduced to the Danish Army; these were [[Goldwork (embroidery)|gold rings on the cuffs]], with three for full generals, two for Lieutenant generals, and one for major generals.{{sfn|Petersen|2014|p=39}} This uniform saw a number of changes until 1785, when the cuff ranks were removed.{{sfn|Petersen|2014|p=41}}

In 1801, new uniforms were introduced for the whole army. Along with the new uniforms, [[epaulette]] ranks were introduced for officers, with generals wearing six-pointed stars on their epaulettes.{{sfn|Petersen|2014|p=42}}{{sfn|Hedegaard|1986}} The general ranks remained largely unchanged from their introduction until 1979, and the adoption of NATO STANAG 2116.{{sfn|Hedegaard|1986}} The adoption created the new rank of Brigadier general, which would receive the one star, meaning the major general would receive two stars.{{sfn|Hedegaard|1986}}
