<div>The '''Wehrmacht''' were the Armed Forces of [[Germany]] during [[World War II]]. The literal English translation of '''Wehrmacht''' is: defense-make or defense-power. To make sense in English it is transliterated to Armed Forces. The '''Wehrmacht''' had three official branches: the [[army]] (German: ''Heer''), the [[air force]] (German: ''Luftwaffe''), and the [[navy]] (German: ''Kriegsmarine''). Unofficially, the ''SS'' or, more specifically, the ''Waffen SS'' became a fourth branch of the ''Wehrmacht'' by the end of the war. <br />
