Oberkommando des Heeres
Hitler used the situation to transfer the duties of the Ministry of War ("Reichskriegsministerium") to a new organisation, the Supreme Command of the Armed Forces ("Oberkommando der Wehrmacht", or OKW), and Wilhelm Keitel, who became the new head of the OKW on 4 February 1938. That weakened the traditional Army High Command ("Oberkommando des Heeres", or OKH), which was now subordinated to the OKW.
