	The Avalon Project : Franco-German Armistice : June 25, 1940
		French armed forces on land, on the sea, and in the air are to be demobilized and disarmed in a period still to be set.
		The French armed forces in the territory to be occupied by Germany are to be hastily withdrawn into territory not to be occupied and be discharged.

	Defense of Italy
		German distrust of Italian intentions long before the Italian surrender-as early as May of that year-had caused plans to be made for that expected event.
		Kesselring was faced with the dual task of opposing the Allied armies and rendering the Italian armed forces ineffective.
		He could not be sure that the Allies would not commit stronger forces in the Mediterranean in an attempt to cut off and annihilate the German forces in the south, as they did in their abortive attempt to cut the lines of communications at Anzio.

	The General Staff & High Command of the Armed Forces (3 of 8)
		The German Armed Forces were so completely under the group's control as to make the group responsible for their activities under the last sentence of Article 6 of the Charter.
		The viewpoint of the German Navy on the opportunities which Naziism offered for rearmament so that Germany could achieve its objectives by force or threat of force, is reflected in a memorandum published by the High Command of the German Navy in 1937 entitled "The Fight of the Navy against Versailles, 1919-35" (C-156).
		The intention of the Army High Command is to prevent a regular mobilization and concentration of the Polish Army by a surprise invasion of Polish territory and to destroy the mass of the Polish Army which is to be expected to be west of the Vistula-Narve line.

	High Command Nuremberg Indictment
		As a result of the German defeat in 1918 and the Treaty of Versailles, the size and activities of the German armed forces were severely restricted.
		Plans for military operations of the German Armed Forces were prepared by members of this group according to the instructions of the OKW in the name of their respective Commanding Officers and were presented by them to the Com-mander- in-chief of the Armed Forces (at the same time Head of State).
		It was the policy of the German Armed Forces to behave with the utmost severity to the civilian popula-tion of the occupied territories, and to conduct its military opera-tions, particularly against partisans, so as to further these Nazi policies.

	German Espionage and Sabotage Against the U.S. in World War II
		The latter has stated the German intelligence files had become so out of date during the 1920s and early 1930s that when the period of rearmament began it was necessary to seek information of all types from abroad–much of it by no means secret–in order to compile up-to-date data.
		Throughout the war the Germans sought military, political and economic information of any and all types, and the broad assignments given agents may well be one reason for the failure to obtain specific data of high quality.
		Beginning in late 1942 or early 1943 the Germans realized that the success of their submarine arm, in which they placed so much hope, was threatened by Allied anti-submarine devices and techniques, and information on these became the priority intelligence requirement and remained so until the end of the war.

	Balance of Forces - Wehrmacht Training
		The military command structure of German forces in Europe in mid-1944 reflected the growing megalomania of the Führer and supreme commander of the armed forces, Adolf Hitler, as well as the rigidity of the Nazi state.
		Under the OKW, the defense of western Europe against a possible Allied invasion from Britain was entrusted to the Oberbefehlshaber West (OBW; Commander in Chief West), Field Marshal Gerd von Rundstedt Both of these forces reported to their own high commands, which in turn reported to Hitler.
		The same situation applied to the theatre armored reserve, Panzer Group West: its commander was to deliberate in concert with OBW, yet none of its well-armed, mobile divisions was to be moved without the explicit permission of the Führer.

		The naval battles were horrific, with the bulk of the German forces being destroyed (including 80% of the Luftwaffe’s front line aircraft)—but the British transports were all sunk as well as the battlefleet at Gibraltar.
		The Japanese Army High Command decided that the new Soviet Industrial Complex was too great of a threat to ignore—it would have allowed new Soviet units to appear in the Far East.

		German casualty levels rose gradually throughout the occupattion, peaking in the months before withdrawal began: in the July-August 1944 period the Germans recorded 936 dead, 1,235 wounded, and 275 missing.
		German measures to defend the railways area explained as a case in point that while ruthlessness could be effective, it was not in itself sufficient to break the spirit of the population or to meet the challenge of the guerrillas.
		The commanders of the U.S. Army's guerrillas view of the Hukbalahap was ideologically biased, influenced by the same elite economic interests that had generated the repression of the central Luzon peasant movement in the years before the war.
