Wehrmacht

The Wehrmacht was the armed forces of Nazi Germany from 1935 to 1945, encompassing the army (Heer), navy (Kriegsmarine), and air force (Luftwaffe). It played a key role in World War II, known for its aggressive tactics and early victories. While often associated with the Nazi regime, many soldiers did not endorse its ideology. The Wehrmacht's actions during the war, including war crimes, contributed to its controversial legacy. After the war, it was disbanded, and discussions about its role in the conflict remain complex, reflecting the tensions between military duty and moral responsibility.
