		Legally, the Commander-in-Chief of the Wehrmacht was Adolf Hitler in his capacity as Germany's Head of state, a position he gained after the death of President Paul von Hindenburg in August 1934 and held until his suicide in late April 1945.
		Today the Wehrmacht is sometimes seen as a high-tech army since new technologies were introduced during World War II including the reprisal weapons, the Me 262 jet fighter and the submarine force, but overall armament levels were low.
		OKW head Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel, the commander-in-chief of the Wehrmacht, was convicted at Nuremburg for war crimes in 1946, and hanged.

		Wehrmacht was the name of the armed forces of Germany from 1935 to 1945.
		Today, the Wehrmacht is often seen as a high-tech army, due to many new technologies that were introduced during World War II, like the so-called reprisal weapons, the Me 262 jet fighter, or the submarine force, but this is a somewhat misleading impression.
		The Commander-in-Chief of the Wehrmacht was the German Chancellor, a position Adolf Hitler held since 1933.

		The Wehrmacht of 1944 was a strange army.
		In the infantry divisions, meanwhile, the Wehrmacht of 1944 was almost a replica of the Kaiser's army of 1918.
		For the ordinary Wehrmacht soldier, whether a teenager from Berlin or a forty-year-old Pole or Russian in an Ost battalion, life consisted of boring work during the day, and enjoyment at night, waiting and praying that the invasion would come elsewhere-anything but getting ready for the fight of their lives.

		It was to co-ordinate the activities of the OKH (Oberkommando des Heeres; Army High Command), the OKL (Oberkommando der Luftwaffe; Air Force High Command), and the OKM (Oberkommando der Kriegsmarine; Navy High Command).
		The Wehrmacht was witness to the mass-murder actions committed by the Einsatzgruppen, and Wehrmacht units were employed in support of these actions.
		The claim made after the war that the Wehrmacht was unaware of the "Final Solution" and the other Nazi atrocities is largely unfounded, at least as far as the OKW and the OKH are concerned.

		The Wehrmacht committed numerous war crimes during World War II — terror bombing of open cities, massacres of civilian population, the Commissar Order that called for the summary execution of Soviet political officers, and the execution of prisoners of war and civilian hostages as punishment for partisan activities in occupied regions.
		As the extent of the Holocaust became known at war's end, the Wehrmacht promoted the view that it was "unblemished" by the crimes of the political armies.
		Though OKW chief Wilhelm Keitel and chief of operations Alfred Jodl were convicted for their roles in war crimes, the Nuremberg tribunal declared the Wehrmacht itself was not inherently criminal in the same way as party organizations like the SS.

		It was to coordinate the activities of the OKH (Oberkommando des Heeres; Army High Command), the OKL (Oberkommando der Luftwaffe; Air Force High Command), and the OKM (Oberkommando der Kriegsmarine; Navy High Command).
		Nazi indoctrination of the Wehrmacht gathered momentum in 1938 at the latest, after Hitler's spectacular successes in annexing territories without resorting to war (Austria; the Sudetenland, followed by Bohemia and Moravia; and Memel) and the drafting of Nazi - trained age groups from the Hitlerjugend and the Reich labor services.
		The claim made after the war that the Wehrmacht was unaware of the "Final Solution" and the other Nazi atrocities is easily refutable, at least as far as the OKW and the OKH are concerned.

	Oberkommando der Wehrmacht
		The Oberkommando der Wehrmacht (OKW, Armed Forces High Command) was part of the command structure of the Nazi armed forces during World War II.
		The OKW ran military operations on the Western front while its rival organization the Oberkommando des Heeres (OKH, Army High Command) controlled operations on the Eastern front.
		There was even more fragmentation as naval and air operations had their own commands (Oberkommando der Marine[?] (OKM) and Oberkommando der Luftwaffe[?] (OKL)) which, while theoretically subordinate, were largely independent from OKW or the OBW.

		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.

		The discord was accentuated by Hitler's simultaneous attempts at establishing, over and above the three services, an Oberkommando der Wehrmacht, which was to be dependent on him alone, and which was meant to take over the sole responsibility for the drafting of military and strategic policies.
		In this conflict Alfred Jodl, one of the officers in the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht, was one of the strongest advocates of the unitary command over the Army.
		The axis between the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht and the Oberkommando der Kriegsmarine was emphasized when the war broke out.

	Oberkommando der Wehrmacht
		Eine zum Teil von Hermann Göring geschickt inszenierte Doppelaffäre um Reichskriegsminister Werner von Blomberg und den Oberbefehlshaber des Heeres, Werner Freiherr von Fritsch, nahm Adolf Hitler Anfang Februar 1938 zum willkommenen Anlaß, das Reichskriegsministerium aufzulösen und an dessen Stelle das Oberkommando der Wehrmacht (OKW) zu installieren.
		Hitler schuf sich mit der neuen höchsten Kommando- und Verwaltungsbehörde der Wehrmacht eine ihm direkt unterstellte und absolut gefügige Institution, die seine Kriegsvorbereitungen nunmehr widerspruchslos umsetzte.
		Dem OKW untergeordnet waren das Oberkommando der Heeres (OKH) unter dem neu ernannten Oberbefehlshaber des Heeres, Walther von Brauchitsch, sowie die Oberkommandos der Luftwaffe (OKL) unter Generalfeldmarschall Hermann Göring und der Kriegsmarine (OKM) unter Großadmiral Erich Raeder.

	Quick Question - 1944 D-Day : Operation Overlord : Official Game Forums
		Heer, Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine are branches of the Wehrmacht!
		Well, the Wehrmacht technically is the army....OKW was not high command of the army...it just had personnel in it who were members of the high command of the army...
		Again...its a mis-interpretation, Wehrmacht means armed forces literally when put together with "Ober Kommando Des Werhmacht"....the Wehrmacht was also a none official name for the Heer...Hence when you ask a Heer Veteran which branch of service he served in, more often than not he will tell you the "Wehrmacht".
