The Heer was the land forces component of the Wehrmacht, the regular German   Armed Forces, from 1935 until it ceased to exist in 1945 and then   formally dissolved in August 1946. During World War II, a total of  about  13.6 million soldiers served in the German Army. Germany’s army   personnel were made up of volunteers and conscripts. Only 17 months   after Adolf Hitler announced publicly the German rearmament program,  the  Army reached its projected goal of 36 divisions. During the autumn  of  1937, two more corps were formed. In 1938 four additional corps were   formed with the inclusion of the five divisions of the Austrian Army   after the Anschluss in March. During the period of its expansion under   Hitler, the German Army continued to develop concepts pioneered during   World War I, combining ground (Army) and air (Luftwaffe) assets into   combined arms forces. The German military managed quick victories in  the  two initial years of World War II, a new style of warfare described  as Blitzkrieg for its speed and destructive power.
