Germany

Germany used the system of military districts (German: Wehrkreis) with an aim of relieving field commanders of as much purely administrative work as possible, and at providing as regular as possible a flow of trained recruits and of supplies to the Field Army. The method they adopted was to separate the Field Army (Oberbefehlshaber des Heeres) from the Home Command (Heimatkriegsgebiet) and to entrust the whole charge of training, conscription, supply, and equipment to that command. A nations army is its military, or more specifically, all of its land forces. ...

The Commander of the Infantry Corps with the identical number also commanded the Wehrkreis in peacetime, but the command of the Wehrkreis passed to his Second-in Command upon the start of the war.

Before the start of the war, there were also four Panzer Grenadier Corps (in effect, staffs to control the training of Panzer and Panzer Grenadier formations) which had no corresponding military districts, but were served (as regards conscription, and supplies) by the districts in which Corps headquarters or subordinate formations had their Home Garrison Stations. These Corps were:

• XIV Panzer Genadier Corps
• XV Panzer Grenadier Corps
• XVI Panzer Grenadier Corps
• XIX Panzer Grenadier Corps

These Corps did not survive upon mobilization.

The Districts were organized into a Chain of Command that included Area Headquarters (Wehrersatzbezirk Hauptquartier) and Sub-area headquarters (Wehrbezirk Hauptquartier).

During World War II, Germany was divided into nineteen military districts. At the start of the war, there were only fifteen: This article is becoming very long. ...

It has been speculated that the missing Wehrkreis number—XIX—was intended for use inside Russia if Germany had been successful in completing the invasion, and additional numbers would have been assigned to the named Wehrkreis at the end of the war.

In peace time, the Wehrkreis was the home to the Infantry Corps of the same number, and all subordinate units of that Corps.

Today four military districts - Wehrbereichskommando - remain in Germany.
