"Wehrmacht" is German for "Defense Force". The Wehrmacht was the German army from 1935 until 1945, the end of the war. The Wehrmacht were organized into 3 branches. The "Heer" or army, "Luftwaffe" or air force, and the "Kriegsmarine" or navy (translated it means war navy). These branches were made up of mostly German conscripts however in some case Poles, Czech's, and those of other nationalities fought along side the Wehrmacht though not many.Contrary to popular belief the Wehrmacht were NOT Nazis and the SS/Waffen SS(SchutzStaffel or protective squadron) were not part of the Wehrmacht. The Wehrmacht were merely people forced or voluntarily recruited as soldiers to defend Nazi ruled Germany.
