POCKET BATTLESHIP ADMIRAL SCHEER
Admiral Scheer was a Deutschland-class heavy cruiser (often termed a pocket battleship) which served with the Kriegsmarine of Nazi Germany during World War II. The vessel was named after Admiral Reinhard Scheer, German commander in the Battle of Jutland. She was laid down at the Reichsmarinewerft shipyard in Wilhelmshaven in June 1931 and completed by November 1934. Originally classified as an armored ship (Panzerschiff) by the Reichsmarine, in February 1940 the Germans reclassified the remaining two ships of this class as heavy cruisers. The ship was nominally under the 10,000 long tons (10,000 t) limitation on warship size imposed by the Treaty of Versailles, though with a full load displacement of 15,180 long tons (15,420 t), she significantly exceeded it. Armed with six 28 cm (11 in) guns in two triple gun turrets, Admiral Scheer and her sisters were designed to outgun any cruiser fast enough to catch them. Their top speed of 28 kn (52 km/h; 32 mph) left only a handful of ships in the Anglo-French navies able to catch them and powerful enough to sink them. Admiral Scheer saw heavy service with the German Navy, including a deployment to Spain during the Spanish Civil War, where she bombarded the port of Almería. Her first operation during World War II was a commerce raiding operation into the southern Atlantic Ocean; she also made a brief foray into the Indian Ocean. During the operation, she sank 113,223 gross register tons (GRT) of shipping, making her the most successful capital ship surface raider of the war. Following her return to Germany, she was deployed to northern Norway to interdict shipping to the Soviet Union. She was part of the abortive attack on Convoy PQ-17 and conducted Operation Wunderland, a sortie into the Kara Sea. After returning to Germany at the end of 1942, the ship served as a training ship until the end of 1944, when she was used to support ground operations against the Soviet Army. She was sunk by British bombers on 9 April 1945 and partially scrapped; the remainder of the wreck lies buried beneath a quay. 
1° SS DIVISION PANZER "LEIBSTANDARTE ADOLF HITLER"
Desde los principios de la constitución del Partido Nazi NSDAP, antes de tomarse el poder, en sus años de formación, la élite del Partido conformo unidades especiales cuyo único propósito   es   la   guarda   y protección de sus líderes. La primera de ellas se constituyo cuando   los   hombres   de   la Compañía 19 de Morteros, bajo el mando de Ernst Rohm, actúa como un cuerpo de guardia en las primeras reuniones de Adolf Hitler y otros miembros del Partido.
Este primer grupo de hombres se constituyo como las SA, las cuales pronto empezaron a crecer. Desde sus inicios Adolf Hitler las vio mas como un problema, que como una herramienta útil. A medida que fueron creciendo Hitler ordeno la formación de una unidad especial de seguidores leales destinada a proteger a los líderes de la NSDAP. Esta unidad fue constituida bajo el mando de Julius Schreck y Joseph Berchtold.
Sin embargo a pesar de estar separada en sus funciones, seguía bajo el control de las SA. Para esta época se determino utilizar como insignia de esta unidad la Calavera o Totenkopf, sobre la gorra de los hombres, además de otra serie de elementos exclusivos de esta organización. El 9 de Noviembre de 1923 esta unidad, además de las SA y otras de la NSDAP tomo parte en el fracasado Putsch de Munich contra la República de Weimar.Las SA continuaron existiendo bajo el nombre de Frontbahn, bajo el lide-razgo de Ernst Rohm. Bajo el mando de Rohm, las SA empezaron a crecer sustancialmente, desde 2.000 en Noviembre de 1923 a 30.000 en muy corto tiempo. 
DAK - DEUTSCHES AFRIKA KORPS
El 1 de Febrero de 1941 un oficial del mando supremo comunica a Rommel la orden para que suspenda su permiso y se presente ante el Mariscal de Campo von Brauchitsch y el Fuhrer. El 6 de Febrero debido a la critica situacion de los italianos en Africa del Norte, se decide enviar dos divisiones Panzer alemanas a Libia, una ligera y otra completa y el Teniente General Erwin Rommel es asignado por Hitler como comandante de las fuerzas alemanes que serán enviadas a Africa a fin de ayudar a los italianos que están siendo castigados duramente por los británicos, para ello se le asigna el mando de una división ligera y la 15° División Panzer con lo cual se conformara el legendario Afrikakorps. El 12 de Febrero, Rommel despega de Catania despues de haber conferenciado con el General Guzzoni, Jefe de Estado Mayor en Roma; llegando Rommel a Trípoli en la tarde y asume el mando de las fuerzas ya destacadas; el 13 se encuentra con el General Gariboldi, poniendo al tanto de su mision, mostrandole el lineas generales el plan de defensa pensado para la Tripolitania, con el apoyo de la Luftwaffe y la concentracion de todas las tropas disponibles para la defensa del Sirte. En la tarde del mismo dia, y en compañia de su ayudante el Coronel Schmundt, realiza a bordo de un Heinkel He 111 un reconocimiento directo en el frente y tomando las primeras disposiciones para iniciar su ofensiv 
U-BOATWAFFE - EL ARMA SUBMARINA ALEMANA
El control administrativo de la Marina Imperial del Kaiser caía bajo la responsabilidad del Departamento Naval Imperial o RMA (Reichs Marine Amt) y el control del arma submarina fue colocado en manos del Inspectorado del Arma de Torpedo o botes torpederos, conformado en 1899 bajo el mando del Contraalmirante Zeye, quien posteriormente alcanzo el grado de Vicealmirante y a su muerte en 1909 fue reemplazado por el Contraalmirante Lanz. Gran parte del desarrollo del arma submarina alemana fue realizado por empresas privadas con el ánimo de ventas a la Marina Imperial o para exportación. A pesar del prejuicio existente contra los submarinos dentro de la jerarquía naval, cualquier desarrollo naval que tuviera algún potencial de aplicación militar era supervisado con gran cuidado por el RMA. En 1904 se unió al Inspectorado el ingeniero naval Gustav Berling con el encargo de velar por el desarrollo del arma submarina. El U-1 el primer submarino asignado a la Marina Imperial, no fue construido o aprobado en su concepto oficialmente, aunque desarrollado con el fin de cumplir con demandas de la Marina para ser vendido a la Marina rusa. El primer submarino incorporado oficialmente a la Marina Imperial desarrollado con base en la experiencia del U-1, fue en U-2, construido por los astilleros Kaiserliche Werft en 1908 bajo la supervisión de Berling y del Inspectorado del Arma de Torpedo. En Diciembre de 1913 se aprobó la conformación del Inspectorado de U-Boat como arma independiente y en Marzo de 1914 fue establecida su base en Kiel con el Kapitan sur See Nordmann como Jefe de Estado para los U-Boat.
HISTORY OF THE GERMAN GENERAL STAFF 1657-1945
The Prussian General Staff is a product of a specific phase of European development. It grew out of that combination of absolute monarchy with standing armies which became so typical a phenomenon after the Thirty Years' War. In more than one instance, where that combination occurred, the military element was integral to the whole structure of the State. In the Spanish Empire it was the paid professional Army that held that scattered and heterogeneous thing together. In the Habsburg dominions with their diversified mixture of peoples the Army played a similar part. Nowhere did this hold more true than in that composite state formed by the union of the Electorate of Brandenburg with the secularized inheritance of an East Prussian religious order. Writing towards the end of the eighteenth century, the military historian von Behrenhorst declared that the Prussian monarchy was not a country that had an army, but an Army that had a country which it used as a billeting area, and Mirabeau once made a somewhat similar remark. There is more than a little truth in these observations; the history of Prussia is essentially the history of the Prussian Army. During the Thirty Years' War the speculative traffic in mercenaries had developed into something like a major industry. It; was by bringing its bigger practitioners under his control, and also by forcing the recalcitrant nobility to do service to their sovereign, that the Great Elector laid the foundations of a standing Prussian force—and, with it, of Prussia.
THE PRUSSIAN AND GERMAN ARMY
Prussia 
Prussia (German: Preußen); was a German kingdom and historic state originating out of the Duchy of Prussia and the Margraviate of Brandenburg. For centuries, the House of Hohenzollern ruled Prussia, successfully expanding its size by way of an unusually well-organized and effective army. Prussia shaped the history of Germany, with its capital in Berlin after 1451. By 1871, the smaller German states were merged with Prussia, resulting in the creation of the German Empire. In November 1918 the monarchies were abolished and the nobility lost its political power. Prussia was effectively abolished in 1932, and officially abolished in 1947.
The name Prussia derives from the Old Prussians. In the 13th century, "Old Prussia" was conquered by German crusaders, the Teutonic Knights. In 1308 Teutonic Knights conquered the formerly Polish region of Pomerelia with Gda?sk (Danzig). Their monastic state was mostly Germanized through immigration from central and western Germany and in the south it was Polonized by settlers from Masovia. After the Second Peace of Thorn of 1466, Prussia was split into the western Royal Prussia, a province of Poland, and the eastern part, since 1525 called Duchy of Prussia, a fief of the Crown of Poland up to 1657. The union of Brandenburg and the Duchy of Prussia in 1618 led to the proclamation of the Kingdom of Prussia in 1701. Prussia was a great power since its foundation as a kingdom.

TANKS IN WWI
THE following work is the story of a great and unique adventure as heroic as the exploits of the Argonauts of old, and, though the time perhaps has not yet arrived wherein to judge the part played by tanks in the Great War, I feel that, whatever may be the insight and judgment of the eventual historian of the British Tank Corps, he will probably lack that essential ingredient of all true history—the witnessing of the events concerning which he relates.
I, the writer of this book, first set eyes on a tank towards the end of August 1916. At this time I little thought that I should eventually be honored by becoming the Chief General Staff Officer of the Tank Corps, for a period extending from December 1916 to August 1918. The time spent during this long connection with the greatest military invention of the Great War, it is hoped, has not been altogether wasted, and the story here set forth represents my appreciation of having been selected to fill so intensely interesting an appointment. 
LOST VICTORIES
THE  general verdict among the  German generals I interrogated in 1945 was that Field-Marshal von Manstein had proved the ablest commander in their Army, and the man they had most desired to become its Commander-in-Chief. It is very clear that he had a superb sense of operational possibilities and an equal mastery in the conduct of operations, together with a greater grasp of the potentialities of mechanised forces than any of the other commanders who had not been trained in the tank arm. In sum, he had military genius. In the earlier stages of the war he exerted a great influence behind the scenes as a staff officer. Later he became an outstanding commander, and played a key part from 1941 to 1944 in the titanic struggle on the Russian front. His detailed account of the campaigns, pungent comments, and very significant revelations combine to make his book one of the most important and illuminating contributions to the history of World War II. 
7TH PANZER DIVISION
Like the 6th Panzer Division, 7th Panzer Division was formed in October 1939 by the conversion of one of the Wehrmachfs Leichte Divisions to full Panzer Division status.
The 7th Panzer Division was a German elite armored formation which participated in the Battle of France. General Erwin Rommel commanded the division, which was nicknamed the "Ghost Division" because of its speed and independent movement, which even the German High Command had difficulty following. After service in France, the division served mainly on the Eastern Front, ending its days in the defense of Germany and surrendering to the British army northwest of Berlin in 1945.
the 2nd leichte division was officially formed on 10 November 1938 at Gera, to the south of Leipzig. Despite the fact that Germany had very little cavalry strength, the cavalry arm was the most prestigious in the German armed forces, and the light divisions had been formed primarily as a sop to the few but highly influential cavalry officers who dominated the high command.
In 1939, the 2nd Leichte Division was under the command of General de Kavallerie Stumme. At full strength, the division comprised 457 officers and warrant officers leading 11,000 NCOs and men.
