Wehrmacht
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wehrmacht (German pronunciation: [ˈveːɐ̯maxt] (Defence Force) -- from German: wehren, to defend and Macht, power, force, cognate to English might) was the unified armed forces of Nazi Germany from 1935 to 1945. It consisted of the Heer (army), the Kriegsmarine (navy) and the Luftwaffe (air force).
Before the National Socialist German Workers' (Nazi) Party assumed control of the German government in 1933, the term Wehrmacht generically described a nation's "home defence" forces, analogous to the German Streitmacht foreign war forces, thus, Britische Wehrmacht denoted "British defence forces." The term Wehrmacht is in Article 47 of the 1919 Weimar Constitution, establishing that: Der Reichspräsident hat den Oberbefehl über die gesamte Wehrmacht des Reiches ("The National President holds supreme command of all armed forces of the nation"). From 1919, Germany's national defence force was known as the Reichswehr, until its renaming as the Wehrmacht on 16 March 1935.
After World War II (1939--45), the Allies abolished the Wehrmacht. In 1955, when the western Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) remilitarized, its armed forces were named the Bundeswehr ("Federal Defence"). In 1956, upon formal establishment, the armed forces of the Communist, east German Democratic Republic (known for short in English as the GDR, or for short in German as the DDR) were named the Nationale Volksarmee (National People's Army), some of whom, with matériel, were incorporated to the Bundeswehr when the German reunification consolidated the two Germanies in 1990.
In German usage, Wehrmacht denotes all of the armed forces of Nazi Germany. Nevertheless, in English writing Wehrmacht is often used to refer specifically to the land forces (army); the correct German for this is Heer.
For branch-of-service identification, Wehrmacht vehicles bore alpha-numeric identity licence plates: WH for the Heer, WL for the Luftwaffe, WM for the Kriegsmarine. SS vehicles bore the identity licence prefix SS, always depicted with the double Sigrunen of the force.

Thanks for the review. It was interesting to hear you praise the instructions before cutting to the assembled miniatures then criticising them for being incomplete after. They looked good to me as well but the proof is in the doing. I also like how you didn't trim them up since it gave me a good idea of how much work they will need post assembly.

[@MoWoFoW]

I couldn't agree more. I really like the true proportion of the PS figures.

[@davekachel]

1. woah this comment section is old. I kinda forgot how it once was. Without direct answers. 2. Hey I recognize these figures! My dad had them as a kid in 70's. I took them over in late 90's. They are more detailed but in general they are the same xD

[@colddrake80]

No problem at all. It was a good example of how things like instructions look good at first but then prove to be very incomplete. I encounter that all the time. Thanks again for the video.

Many thanks for the review. Just seen your channel. Probably the best video I have seen so far to really see the detail on these miniatures from Plastic Soldier Company. I'm going into the game of Battlegroup as I prefer the more realistic game mechanic. Being ex military myself I prefer it to Flames of War. With that being said I will be basing these troops individually. Would you be able to tell me generally the diameter of bases I would need to get? The Weapons team I already know which way I'm going it was just on individual troops. If I was going Battlefront miniatures a 20mm base was generally going to work well. So I'd appreciate your input on that question. Look forward to look at your channel more to see more unboxing reviews of PSC models. Great work and thanks again.

[@96Delta]

Kasper, how many channels do you have?! Lovin' your videos. Keep up the great work my brother!

[@MoWoFoW]

Yeah I know some inconsistency ;) I can't make the speaks separate so if I discover I made a mistake in the speak, it's very hard to go back and redo it. The previous release from PSC had been very straight forward so I assumed this box was the same...

[@MoWoFoW]

I believe I used normal Fieldgrey for the caps and I used different shades of brown for the hair.

[@MoWoFoW]

No not really. There's a big difference between the uniforms. This is regular wehrmacht uniforms and you got to have a good imiagination to make em look like grenadiers.

[@ExpendableOne23]

Do they come with bases?

[@michwis]

I hawe question about infantry box, can they be used as ss panzergrenadiers in fow, I hawe little info about uniform difrences between heer and ss

[@pjbyrne1997]

Are you going to do a review on the regular German infantry.

[@mikenorman9616]

What colors did tou use eg helmets and hair on the guys with caps - this is on the late war infantry.

[@MoWoFoW]

No. You have to buy or make your own.

[@minitzonthesun]

I like these figs. FOW infantry look like little babies, these look more scale correct.

[@millebagyan]

your are a nice guy

[@MoWoFoW]

I don't think so. I think they are too old to make a video about.

[@MoWoFoW]

lol Thank you :)
