What atrocities you might ask? Well, one of their first duties was to bump off all of Hitler’s opponents and rivals in an act known as the Night of the Long Knives. The Nuremberg trials condemned this entire group as a criminal organization due to the fact that they liked to conduct atrocities on days ending with Y. They were often told of a problem’s existence and given complete autonomy under the condition that said problem went away into a dark hole no one could find it in, and were amply supplied with manpower, equipment, and whatever else they needed to conduct their dark trade. No matter where you fall on the Allied/Axis fandom, you have to know that these guys are some seriously bad news. Way I figure it, the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht has the same acryonym, and are the Waffen’s bosses, so either name could apply. So it is entirely likely that the censors would not allow it. To the point that if you thought about anything that Nazi Germany did that was even remotely horrifying, I’d wager that there was a SS man involved. I suspect that Relic opted to use the name “Oberkommando West” because… well, the Waffen-SS were not nice people. The OKW in game resemble the Waffen in appearance as well, sporting a similar pea-dot style camouflage pattern as well as uniform style, and I am told there are several references to “Waffen” and “Honor guard” in the game’s code as well. I believe that this is the true identity of the Oberkommando West. However, there were a 4th branch, answerable only to them, that had a very dark reputation for extreme violence and “creative problem solving”: the Waffen-Schutzstaffel, or “protection squadron”. They commanded the Heer (army), the Kriegsmarine (navy), and the Luftwaffe (Lolwaffle Air Force). However, the acronym of OKW does fit with Oberkommando der Wehrmacht, translated to mean High Command of the Defense Force. Forewordĭespite my best efforts, I have not been able to find any group in history with the name “Oberkommando West”.
