Wehrmacht

the word Blitzkrieg was never used as an official military term by the Wehrmacht, except for propaganda, and it was never officially adopted as a concept or doctrine.

German success depended upon a combination of existing traditions of mobile warfare with modern Panzer divisions, motorised infantry, artillery, engineers, reconnaissance, radio-enabled command and control, and cooperation with the Luftwaffe.

The MG 42 (shortened from German: Maschinengewehr 42, or "machine gun 42") is a German recoil-operated air-cooled general-purpose machine gun used extensively by the Wehrmacht and the Waffen-SS during the second half of World War II.

The Wehrmacht officially adopted the converted PPSh-41 as the "MP 41(r)" (not to be confused with the Schmeisser MP41); unconverted PPSh-41s were designated "MP 717(r)" and supplied with 7.63×25mm Mauser ammunition.

During World War II, Belgium was occupied by Nazi Germany and the FN factory was used by the Wehrmacht to build the pistols for their military, under the designation "9mm Pistole 640(b)".

With the exception of the Balkans Campaign, Nebelwerfer were used in every campaign of the German Army during World War II.

The Tiger II was issued to heavy tank battalions of the Army and the Waffen-SS.

It was adopted on 21 June 1935 as the standard service rifle by the German Wehrmacht.

The MG 08 also saw service during World War II in the infantry divisions of the German Army, although by the end of the war it had mostly been relegated to second-rate "fortress" units.

The first models were introduced by the Imperial German Army during World War I and the final design was introduced during World War II by the German Wehrmacht.

The 38/42 was adopted by the Wehrmacht as the Maschinenpistole 738(i), abbreviated as MP.738 as well as Model 38A after Nazi Germany took over the Beretta Manufacturing Factory following the Italian Armistice and the German takeover of Italy during Operation Achse.

As the Germans were short of self-loading rifles themselves, SVT-38 and 40s, designated respectively as Selbstladegewehr 258(r) and Selbstladegewehr 259(r) by the Wehrmacht, saw widespread use by Germany.

PPD-34/38 and PPD-40 submachine guns captured by the Wehrmacht were given the designations MP.715(r) and MP.716(r) respectively.

The G41(W) was produced in small numbers (up to 7,500 in total) before it was officially adopted by the German Army as the Gewehr 41.

The Astra 600 is a Spanish semi-automatic pistol that was used during World War II by the Wehrmacht.

The Wehrmacht adopted the Breda 30 in small numbers after the occupation of Northern and Central Italy following the Italian armistice of 1943 with the Allies, as the MG 099(i).

The MP35 (Maschinenpistole 35, 'Machine Pistol 35') was a submachine gun used by the Wehrmacht, Waffen-SS and German police both before and during World War II.

29 rifles were also used by the Wehrmacht as the Gewehr 298(p).

They were later captured and used by the German Army after the invasion of Luxembourg.

The Walther P38 (originally written Walther P.38) is a 9 mm semi-automatic pistol that was developed by Carl Walther GmbH as the service pistol of the Wehrmacht at the beginning of World War II. It was intended to replace the comparatively complex and expensive to produce Luger P08.

The S-mine entered production in 1935 and served as a key part of the defensive strategy of the Wehrmacht.
