Bundeswehr · Federal Armed Forces
Die Armee von Deutschland. Sie schützt das Land und hilft bei Einsätzen.
The German word "Bundeswehr" refers to the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Germany. The term is composed of "Bundes" meaning "federal" and "wehr," which means "defense" or "armed force." The Bundeswehr was established in 1955 and includes the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Similar terms might include "Militär" (military) and "Streitkräfte" (armed forces).
The difference is that "Militär" is a broader term that refers to any military entity, while "Streitkräfte" can refer to armed forces of any country, not just Germany. "Bundeswehr" specifically denotes Germany's military organization and structure.
