1931 Reichswehr review

1931. The Reichswehr formed the military organisation of Germany from 1919 until 1935, when it was renamed the Wehrmacht. At the end of World War I, the forces of the German Empire had mostly disintegrated, the men making their way home individually or in small groups. Many of them joined the Freikorps, a collection of volunteer paramilitary units that were involved in revolution and border clashes between 1918 and 1923. The newly-formed Weimar Republic did need a military though, and on 6 March 1919 a decree established the Vorläufige Reichswehr, consisting of a Vorläufige Reichsheer and a Vorläufige Reichsmarine. About 400,000 men served in the Reichsheer.On 30 September 1919, the army was reorganized as the Übergangsheer. This lasted until 1 January 1921, when the Reichswehr was officially established according to the limitations imposed by the Treaty of Versailles.
