yes a seperate army if u want was the SS but Relic are too ♥♥♥♥♥ to actually portray the SS in game. On paper OKW was always supposed to supercede OKH, The same army fought on both sides so its highly innacurate to beleive 2 seperate armies fought in ww2. OKW and OKH fought on seperate fronts and ran on their own untill abt 1945 but effectively they were the same. Under OKW came OKH OKL and OKG Heers, Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine respectively. OKW in the Germany army stood for OberKommando der Wehrmacht which basically means Supreme High Command of the Armed FOrces. there is no such thing as OberKommando West. The problem is Lelic did ♥♥♥♥ all in terms of their research. Originally posted by CRF bakalov_boy:I know this isn't really related too much to the game but what is the historical diff between the Wermacht and the OKW? Other than the fact that they fought on different fronts, (Although based off of my knowledge the Wermacht did help in the WEST early in the war) ,what sets them apart enough to have two seperate "factions" if you will.? Panzer Fusiliers are linked to the Heer Panzergrenadier Division Grossdeutschland. In the intel bulletins they link units in game to historical ones. Originally posted by Trigg:It's an artificial distinction for game purposes. They wanted a second German faction, so they made some arbitrary decisions about what units would be available to each.Īs mentioned above, there is supposed to be a sort of time distinction between the two factions, but you don't actually have the untits needed to create a German army at the time of the invasion of Russia. The designers are more interested in creating a game experience than in teaching history. Lots of people think the made-up types represent Waffen-SS, but it is not certain. Some of the troop types are just made up, e.g. Osttruppen and Tiger Is fought in Normandy, Volksgrenadiers and Tiger IIs fought in the east. There wasn't really much difference between the forces in the East and the forces in the West. I don't know whether it formally included the Waffen-SS, but after Poland they were under operational control off the Heer, so they units of both types were found together in the various corps and armies. The Wehrmacht includede the Heer (army), Luftwaffe, and Kriegsmarine. Historically, OKW stood for Oberkommando der Wehrmacht, "armed forces high command". It's an artificial distinction for game purposes.
