- Even though the term Wehrmacht is originally not from the nazis and was mentioned in files after WW I the German Military was officially named like this in 1935. Every soldier and officer who was member of the Wehrmacht had to swear a personal oath of loyaltiy to the Führer Adolf Hitler as he was namend. The picture of the wehrmacht has very much changed since the mid 1990s when proofs came to public that the Wehrmacht was involved in many warcrimes, too - not just the SS. Finally the SS can be seen as a part of the Wehrmacht because it was organisationally under the sphere of power of the OKW (Oberkommando der Wehrmacht).
