  Oberkommando der Wehrmacht - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Oberkommando der Wehrmacht or OKW (Wehrmacht High Command, Armed Forces High Command) was part of the command structure of the Nazi armed forces during World War II.
This created a situation such that by 1942 the OKW was the de facto command of Western forces while the Oberkommando des Heeres (the Army High Command) exercised de facto command of the Russian front.
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.
