Wehrmacht World War Vol 1

250 High resolution pictures of Nazi Wehrmacht in World War 2


The Wehrmacht was the unified armed forces of Nazi Germany from 1935 to 1946. It consisted of the Heer (army), the Kriegsmarine (navy) and the Luftwaffe (air force). The designation Wehrmacht for Nazi Germany's military replaced the previously used term, Reichswehr (1919ñ35), and constituted the Third Reichís efforts to rearm the nation to a greater extent than the Treaty of Versailles permitted.


The Wehrmacht formed the heart of Germanyís politico-military power. In the early part of World War II, Hitler's generals employed the Wehrmacht through innovative combined arms tactics (close cover air-support, mechanized armor, and infantry) to devastating effect in what was called a Blitzkrieg (lightning war). The Wehrmacht's new military structure, unique combat techniques, newly developed weapons, and unprecedented speed and brutality crushed their opponents.
