Not sure if that is the way it would actually work out. Contrary to popular
myth in the US "Wehrmacht" is not the german word for the german army. It
means "Armed Forces." The SS was a seperate (political) branch of service.
The Luftwaffe, Kriegsmarine, and Heer (Army) were all part of the Wehrmacht .
