Oberkommando des Heeres
The Social Democratic politician Gustav Noske became the first Minister of Defence of Germany. After the Nazi "Machtergreifung", when the "Reichswehr" was recreated as the Wehrmacht in 1935, the ministry was renamed "Reichskriegsministerium" (Reich Ministry of War); also, the "Heeresleitung" became the Oberkommando des Heeres (OKH), the "Marineleitung" became the Oberkommando der Marine (OKM) and the Oberkommando der Luftwaffe (OKL) was newly created. The "Ministeramt" (Ministerial Office) was renamed the "Wehrmachtsamt".
