After the Battle of Britain, it was more than 'several' whistle

You are right about the generals. If you include Admirals and Oberfuhrers and Gruppenfuhrers of the NSKK/SA/SS, plus the big knobs at the RAD, NSFK, etc, etc, there must be thousands of them. The only specifically designed general's general's edged weapon I have heard of is the Lufwaffe general's sword. You could probably add the Damascus SS Honor Swords as well, but those were special gifts.
