	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.

		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.
		This body reported to Hitler separately from its rival, the Oberkommando des Heeres (OKH; Army High Command), which ran the war on the eastern front.
		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 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.
		In theory, it served as the military general staff for Adolf Hitler's Third Reich, coordinating the efforts of the German Army (Heer), Navy (Kriegsmarine), and Air Force (Luftwaffe).
		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.

		Alfred Jodl (May 10, 1890 â€“ October 16, 1946) was a German military (Wehrmacht) commander, attaining the position of Chief of the Operations Staff of the Armed Forces High Command (Oberkommando der Wehrmacht, or OKW) during WWII, acting as deputy to Wilhelm Keitel.
		As a vocal Nazi sympathizer, he was rapidly promoted and by 1935 headed the Abteilung Landesverteidigung im Oberkommando des Heeres (OKH) (Chief of the National Defense Section in the High Command of the Army).
		The primary French judge at the Nuremberg Trials, Henri Donnedieu de Vabres protested strongly against Jodl's conviction, stating that it was a miscarriage of justice for a professional soldier to be convicted if he held no allegiance to Nazism.

		This task was left to the General Staff, so actually the most important man in the Army (and the Navy, but less so in the Luftwaffe, which was commanded by Hermann Göring) was the chief of the general staff.
		The SS fighting units, called the Waffen-SS, were to evolve into highly skilled and effective soldiers, in many cases superior in these respects to the German army, the Heer.

		Oberkommando der Wehrmacht (OKW)—Armed Forces High Command—was supreme and responsible for the co-ordination of the active war effort by the three subordinate branches: Oberkommando des Heeres (OKH)—Army High Command; Oberkommando der Kriegsmarine (OKM)—Navy High Command, and Oberkommando des Luftwaffe (OKL)—Air Force High Command.
		The second point that emerges from German documents is that after Alamein—the ‘battle without hope’ in Rommel's words—Rommel was firmly of the opinion that the campaign in North Africa was lost, and that the correct thing to do was to evacuate all the troops from Africa for use in Europe.
