Wehrmacht - Background
The German word Wehrmacht (literally "defence force") was previously used in German in a generic sense, as a term describing the armed forces of Germany or of another nation. For instance, Article 47 of the Weimar Constitution of 1919 declared the Reichspräsident commander-in-chief of "all Wehrmacht of the Reich", and a reference to the Englische Wehrmacht encompassed all English forces.
However, German armed forces were formally known as the Reichswehr until 1935, when they became known as the Wehrmacht. Following the defeat of Germany at the end of World War II, the Allied occupation, and the subsequent re-militarization of the German Federal Republic in 1955, West Germany's newly-created armed forces became known as the Bundeswehr.
The term Wehrmacht is thus customarily used today (both in German and English) to refer specifically to Germany's armed forces during the Third Reich and World War II.
