The Wehrmacht (Defense Force—from German: wehren, to defend and Macht, power, force, cognate to English might) was the unified armed forces of Germany from 1935 to 1945. It consisted of the Heer (army), the Kriegsmarine (navy) and the Luftwaffe (air force).
As an additional bonus, Hiyatoys included a little bio for each figure on the back of the card. Let’s take a look at the Rifleman B’s bio. (Please note I am correcting spelling and grammar errors as a likely result of translation. If you want to see the original spelling, an image is included in the packaging section on Page 5.)
