Original: The term wehrmacht is in Article 47 of the 1919 Weimar Constitution , establishing that : Der Reichspräsident hat den Oberbefehl über die gesamte Wehrmacht des Reiches ( '' The National President holds supreme command of all armed forces of the nation '' ) .
Simplified: The conscription law introduced the name Wehrmacht , so not only can this be regarded as its founding date , but the organization and authority of the Wehrmacht can be viewed as Nazi creations .
