The Nazi German military, known as the Wehrmacht, was the unified armed forces of Nazi Germany from 1935 to 1945, encompassing the Army (Heer), Navy (Kriegsmarine), and Air Force (Luftwaffe). Under Adolf Hitler’s leadership, the Wehrmacht played a central role in Germany’s military aggression during World War II, executing Blitzkrieg tactics that led to the rapid conquest of much of Europe. The military was involved in key battles such as the invasion of Poland, the Battle of France, and the Eastern Front against the Soviet Union. Despite initial successes, the Wehrmacht was ultimately defeated by the Allied forces. The Wehrmacht’s legacy is controversial due to its association with war crimes, particularly the atrocities committed by Nazi forces during the Holocaust and the invasion of the Soviet Union.
