German military
Bundeswehr or predecessors
The German military refers to the armed forces of Germany, currently known as the Bundeswehr, established in 1955.
Historical references often invoke the Wehrmacht (Nazi-era forces) or Prussian military tradition.
The phrase carries complex connotations given Germany's 20th-century history: German military doctrine influenced armies worldwide, rebuilding the German military after World War II.
