	Reichswehr - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Many of them joined the Freikorps (free corps), a collection of volunteer paramilitary units that were involved in revolution and border clashes between 1918 and 1923.
		The biggest influence on the development of the Reichswehr was Hans von Seeckt (1866-1936), who served from 1920-1926 as "Chef der Heeresleitung" (Chief of the Army Leadership).
		During 1933 and 1934, after Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany, the Reichswehr began a secret program of expansion, which finally became public with the formal announcement of the Wehrmacht in 1935.

	German Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On March 6th, 1919 an army known as the Vorläufige Reichswehr (Provisional German Defence Force) was formed with about 400,000 men, many drawn form the Freikorps.
		Finally, on January 1, 1921 the 100,000 man Reichswehr was formed with 7 Infantry Divisions and 3 Cavalry Divisions.
		Under the Treaty of Versailles the Reichswehr was only allowed 100,000 soldiers split between the Army and the Navy.

	Feldgrau :: 10.Infanterie-Division
		The organic regimental units of this division were formed by the expansion of the 20.(Bayerisches) Infanterie-Regiment of the 7.Division of the Reichswehr.
		The commanders of the 7 divisions of the Reichswehr also served as the head of a regional Wehrkreiskommando of the same number as the division, thus serving a duel role.
		During the transition period the Reichswehr Wehrkreiskommandos were upgraded into Korp formations and the commanders were transfered to serve as their new commanding officers.

	August Thalheimer: A Missed Opportunity? The German October Legend and the Real History of 1923 - The Class Forces in ...
		In Russia the great bulk of the army was made up of peasants, whereas the Reichswehr was made up of socially backward elements in its ranks and trustworthy reactionaries and counter-revolutionaries in its leadership.
		In no way could it be said that the Reichswehr reflected the true class composition in the country.
		The Reichswehr is a class army in the reactionary sense.

	Reichswehr
		The Reichswehr was the product of the Treaty of Versailles, which limited its size to 6 infantry divisions and 1 cavalry division, and of a cadre of forward-thinking German officers who were determined to draw on the best in Germany's tactical and operational thinking of the WW1 period.
		Significantly, the Reichswehr's most influential chief, Gen. Hans von Seeckt, made his name largely in the campaigns on the Eastern front, where the lower troop density prevented the front from becoming static.
		Von Seeckt was determined to use the Reichswehr both as a testbed for new doctrines and as a nucleus of a future, larger German army not bound by the Versailles restrictions.

	The Rohm
		Adolf Hitler continued to hope that by temporizing, the Reichswehr and the SA would balance each other off, the former growing larger and more modern within its proper sphere—the military—and the latter acting with greater wisdom to support the political initiatives of the new government.
		The Reichswehr on the other hand could not be sacrificed in order to comply with the edicts of muddleheads.
		The most he would consider—and that only provisorily—was that the SA enter the Reichswehr in force, with each unit strictly maintaining its own authority and all of his princelings keeping the inflated rank they held in the SA formations.

		Some Freikorps men enlisted in the Reichswehr or the Ordnungspolizei in the following years, but the best most could manage was to maintain their old contacts with each other by joining the Sturmabteilungen (Storm Units, or SA) of the Nazi Party.
		The latter turned a blind eye when Hitler used SS men to murderously purge the SA leadership on 20 June 1934 in the “Night of the Long Knives.” Hitler had made a gesture to the Reichswehr, demonstrating that it was the armed force for Germany’s future instead of the SA.
		In return, the Reichswehr, soon to become the openly-conscripted Wehrmacht in violation of the Versailles provisions, agreed to not interfere with the small, highly-select SS-V units.

	JEWISH LIVES - MERCHANDISE FOR BARTER
		The latter informed them of an existing feud between the Reichswehr and the SS, and expressed the hope that the Reichswehr would gain they upper hand in the contest.
		Schmidt told the representatives of the Zionists that the Germans - meaning both the Reichswehr and the SS - would consider sparing the lives of Jews against a one-time payment of two million dollars.
		In the beginning the negotiations were conducted in the presence of Winninger and Schmidt mainly through a certain Obersturmbannführer Krumey, an officer in the Reichswehr.

	Axis History Factbook: History of the SturmAbteilung
		The men of this unit wore the field grey uniforms of the Reichswehr, armed with weapons provided by Hauptmann Ernst Röhm (who would continue to play an important role in the development) and many of them seems to have served in a Reichswehr mortar company.
		The Reichs War Minister, General Kurt von Schleicher, had secretly agreed with Röhm to place the SA under command of the Reichswehr in case of war (the main concern at this time was a feared invasion of Silesia by Poland).
		The Reichstag building in Berlin burned down 27 Feb 1933 and it is generally believed that the SA was involved (in particular SA-Gruppenführer Karl Ernst) despite the fact that the Dutch communist Maninus van der Lubbe confessed to the crime and claimed to have worked alone.

		For instane I am inforced that a considerable struggle is going on now between the Reichswehr and men whom Hitler wants to equip with heavy arms, just as any division of the Reichswehr.
		Nevertheless the relations between the Party-State and the Reichswehr are not being severely tested.
		Both sides are avoiding that' and I am informed quite reliably that if a show-down came between the Party and the Military conservative forces the responsible circles in the Reichswehr I have no doubt that it represents the actual situation.

		As opposed to this, Stabsfuehrer Waehmann holds that this idea is contrary to the spirit and the service instructions of the SA, for it is a demand which is particularly stressed in the SA that one should place oneself voluntarily under the orders of another.
		With regard to the former soldiers of the Reichswehr now united in the Unions it was said: The SA has no interest in incorporating the Unions, for all elements who do not believe firmly in the principles of the new idealogy, are unwanted.
		The speech delivered by the Fuehrer to the SA leaders on the evening of Tuesday the 17.10, has induced me to bring up for decision by the Chief of Staff, the question, as to whether it is right that the SA training in the Army of the Reich should be continued.

		The Germans are going to do nothing in a military way for the time being; though a serious outbreak of war in Europe might change the attitude of the Nazis.
		A high personage in the Reichswehr last week explained that Germany was not going to make any military move in any direction; that Germany would not abandon its claim to Memel and that it would not "let up" on Memel until it was reincorporated in the German Reich.
		The Reichswehr is now proceeding feverishly toward perfecting its peace strength.

		The DAP's larger rallies attracted the attention of the Bavarian Reichswehr authorities, and since Hitler worked for the Reichswehr as a political indoctrination official, he was asked to report on the activities of the new party.
		The commandant of the Reichswehr, Franz von Epp, his chief of staff, Erst Röhm, and the Munich chief of police, Erst Pöhner, were eager to overthrow the Republic and openly encouraged and protected all effective ultra-nationalist movements in their jurisdictional areas.
		The fear in Berlin was that the Bavarian Reichswehr and 'patriots' would occupy Saxony and Thuringia on their way north to Prussia.

		Corum correctly points out that there are no comprehensive studies on the tactics of the Reichswehr as they developed in the early 1920s and proceeds to provide such a book.
		As leader of the Reichswehr from 19201926, General von Seeckt provided an impression on the German military that was to last through World War ll.
		While recognizing this important point, we can perhaps look further at Corum's data to see that another point needs to be made that is of the utmost relevance today: the importance of the actual military experience of the particular leaders of a reform movement.

	Behaviour And Role Of The Officer Corps In The Third Reich
		Furthermore, during the last days of January 1933 the Reichswehr, at least at the top, was a picture of confusion and division, as can be seen in what happened at the time of Blomberg's appointment as Minister for the Reichswehr.
		Hitler seemed to be offering concessions and a return to the familiar practice of Seeckt with all the advantages of relief from decision-making and the secretly hoped-for possibility of taking over the role of supreme arbiter at the right moment; in fact, he extracted from the unsuspecting officers a free hand for terrorism.
		The decisive factor was that Hitler found in the Reichswehr Minister, Blomberg, and his closest adviser, Colonel von Reichenau, who was appointed head of the ministerial department on 21st February, two partners who followed his course almost unconditionally.

	Adolf Hitler's First Antisemitic Writing, 1919
		There he underwent a Reichswehr sponsored course of systematic political education for demobilizing soldiers that featured Pan- German nationalism, antisemitism, and anti-socialism.
		But it is clear from the context and from later statements that, at this point, Hitler meant segregation or expulsion rather than systematic liquidation.
		The letter, Hitler's first explicitly political writing, impressed his Reichswehr superiors and he soon gained a reputation among radical rightist and socially respectable nationalist conservative groups as a man who could help inoculate the masses against revolution and whose antisemitic rhetoric could help discredit the democratic Weimar Republic.

		The conduct of war, and therefore of mobilization as well, in the future is the task of the SA.
