Army High Command (OKH)

The Army High Command (OKH) was the central leadership responsible for Germany's army during World War II. It coordinated strategic planning, deployment of troops, and wartime operations, acting as the top decision-making authority for land forces. Reporting directly to the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht (OKW), OKH managed fronts across Europe and North Africa, ensuring unified military effort. It also worked with operational units to implement government war policies. In essence, OKH was the core body directing Germany's land military campaigns during the war, overseeing both strategy and execution.
