Former German military organisations have been the Reichswehr (1921-1935) and the Wehrmacht (1935-1945). The Bundeswehr, however, does not consider itself as their successor and does not follow traditions of any former German military organisation. The official Bundeswehr traditions are based on three major subjects: the defence reformers at the beginning of the 19th century such as Scharnhorst, Gneisenau, and Clausewitzthe members of the military resistance against Hitler such as Claus von Stauffenbergits own tradition since 1955As its symbol the Bundeswehr uses a form of the Iron Cross. The Iron Cross has a long history, having been awarded as a military war time decoration for all ranks since 1813, and earlier associations with the Teutonic knights. The name Bundeswehr was proposed by the former Wehrmacht general and liberal politician Hasso von Manteuffel. After an amendment of the basic law West Germany became a member of NATO in 1955. In 1956, conscription for all men between 18 and 45 in years was reintroduced, later on augmented by the introduction of a civil alternative with longer duration (see Conscription in Germany). During the Cold War the Bundeswehr was the backbone of NATO's conventional defence in Central Europe. It had a strength of 495,000 military and 170,000 civilian personnel. The Army consisted of three corps with 12 divisions, most of them heavily armed with tanks and APCs. The Air Force owned major numbers of tactical combat aircraft and took part in NATOs integrated air defence (NATINAD). The Navy was tasked and equipped to defend the Baltic Approaches, to escort reinforcement and resupply shipping in the North Sea, and to contain the Soviet Baltic Fleet. After reunification in 1990, the Bundeswehr absorbed parts of the Nationale Volksarmee (NVA) of the GDR, which was being dissolved at the time. In 1999, the NATO war in Kosovo was the first offensive conflict in which the German military actively took part since the Second World War. In 2000, the European Court of Justice opened the previously all-male (besides medical divisions and the music corps) Bundeswehr to women. **IF YOU NEED ITEM OTHER THAN THE ONE IN THE 1ST PHOTO, PLEASE LET ME KNOW W/YOUR ORDER** They will make a great addition to your SSI Shoulder Sleeve Insignia collection.
