  Oberkommando des Heeres
The Oberkommando des Heeres (or OKH for short) was Germany's Army High Command from 1936 to 1945.
The Oberkommando der Wehrmacht (OKW), which was by definition superior to the OKH, was not intended for that, nor did it have the resources to do so.
Later in the war the OKH became responsible for fewer and fewer tasks.

 OKW versus OKH
On the eve of war in 1939, the OKH remained beyond Adolf Hitler's control.
OKW was nominally a superior headquarters to OKH but its staff lacked the capability to conduct military operations without support from the independent services.
The conflicting visions of the conduct of Operation Barbarossa initially led to a crisis after the conclusion of the Battle of Smolensk: Hitler sought to divert forces from the Moscow axis for an envelopment of the southern flank; the senior generals favored an immediate continuation of the advance to Moscow.

The OKH was not in the mood to order Guderian to abandon the Yelnia salient completely, but Brauchitsch and Halder were prepared by the third week in July to exercise a restraining hand over the panzer groups to prevent any further extension of their already badly exposed flanks.
The OKH had not yet won a complete victory for the cause of Moscow, although the confidence of Hitler and the OKW in the feasibility of the original Barbarossa plan, to place Leningrad ahead of the capital in terms of its strategic importance, had been shaken.
The OKH proposal was highly contradictory of practically everything that Halder had preached since the third week in July, and the conclusion is inescapable that the proposal was designed, not to fit the facts, but rather to mislead Hitler.

 333 OKH   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The 333 OKH was developed by Charles O'Neil, Elmer Keith, and Don Hopkins in 1945.
When the 338 Winchester Magnum was introduced in 1958, a wide variety of 338 bullets became available which led to rifles being made for the 338-06 cartridge.
The difference between the 333 OKH and the 338-06 is miniscule and one can use loading data interchangeably.

These orders, which were passed on to the troops through the OKW and OKH, were equally applicable to army troops as well as to those of the SS and police.
As proof of this the order of the OKW and OKH can be adduced, which directed that all captured partisans, for instance such as Jews, agents and political commissars, should without delay be handed over by the troops to the SD for special treatment.

In the meanwhile the OKH began to transmit the operational and deployment plans to the army groups and armies involved.
"Details of the operational and deployment plans were discussed by the OKH with the commanders-in-chief of the army groups and armies and with the chiefs of staff of these commanders, During the operations the OKH maintained a constant exchange of ideas with the army groups by means of telephone, radio, and courier.
The Oberbefehlshaber in the field, therefore — and in the case of the Army that means the commanders-in-chief of army groups and armies —; participated in planning and directing the execution of the plans, as those affidavits show.

Similarly, okh is found equally often suffixed to and separate from the noun of which it marks possession.
The distinction here is the same: if the possessed noun is unmodified, okh is suffixed; if modified by adjectives, it stands as an independent word after those adjectives.
Two of these are further prefixed with the objective particle ah (ahmehtm'lah, ahmehtihdhsai, both modified by other adjectives or phrases), one of them with okh (okhmehtbihshtah, unmodified).

But Hitler had already reached his decisions, independent of OKH guidance; he was resolved to attack at the earliest possible date, and he directed OKH to prepare the plans for attack.
The initial OKH plan was merely an updated version of the 1914 Schlieffen plan calling for a drive through Belgium into northern France, then wheeling south to pin the bulk of the French army against the Maginot Line and Swiss border.
It was at this point, in mid-August 1941, that the crucial decision predicted months earlier by OKH came due, and on it would hang the fate of the campaign.

According to a specific agreement between Himmler and the OKW and OKH, the direction of individual operations lay in the hands of the troop leader who commanded the largest troop contingent.
It was therefore possible that an Army general could have SS and Police under him; and, on the other hand, that army troops could be placed under a general of the SS and Police.
I could merely request the OKH to order it, until 1944, mostly through the intervention of Generalquartiermeister Wagner or through State Secretary Ganzenmüller The OKH then issued corresponding orders to the army groups concerned for compliance.

Since he and the other wartime appointees perform the functions of some of the regular branches of the General Staff, it is believed that the separate functioning of these particular branches is largely suspended in wartime.
Moreover, with the partial merging of the field headquarters of the OKW and the OKH under Hitler's personal command at the end of 1941, some of the other normal functions of branches of the Army General Staff have been wholly or partly taken over by the Armed Forces Operations Staff (WFSt).

 Military Organization of the Third Reich
This created a situation such that by 1942 the OKW was the de facto command of Western forces while the OKH (the Army High Command) exercised de facto command of the Russian front.
There was a rivalry between OKW and the OKH (Army High Command, Oberkommando des Heeres): Because most German operations during World War II were army operations (with air support), the Army High Command demanded the control over the German military forces.
There was even more fragmentation as naval and air operations had their own commands (Oberkommando der Marine (OKM) and Oberkommando der Luftwaffe (OKL, Hermann Göring)) which, while theoretically subordinate, were largely independent from OKW or the OBW.

I never told her that Craig Parent (OKH 87-90) was meeting me at the house, and together we’d be driving out to Pickering to hook up with Rob Chubey (OKH 85-88) and Carl ‘Smoke’ Armstrong (OKH 85-86), to carpool up to Beaverton.

He was promoted to officer because of outstanding bravery and was placed in command of an infantry battalion.
Between 1919 and 1937 he served as a staff officer in the Reichswehr, and in 1937 he found himself working as a staff officer for the Oberkommando des Heeres (OKH).
It is probable that Hitler believed Zeitzler would be a more pliable and optimistic OKH chief than his immediate predecessor, Franz Halder.
