Wehrmacht, literally translated as “defense force,” is the collective term used to describe the German military machine during the decade from 1935 to 1945 and throughout World War II. Although the term Wehrmacht is often used in describing the German Army alone, the Wehrmacht encompassed the German Navy, or Kriegsmarine, the German Air Force, or Luftwaffe, and the German Army, or Heer.
