Formed just prior to the French Pacification, the Deutsche Waffenfabriken was a conglomerate constructed by Hanse from the relatively intact remains of German military industry in order to support ongoing peacekeeping efforts spearheaded by the Bundeswehr. The forcible reconstruction caused some degree of chaos that was quickly stopped by Hanse, who easily refocused the company with additional funding and organizational support. The resulting company, primarily composed of Rheinmetall AG, Krauss-Maffei Wegmann, and some of the Thales Group, began supplying the Bundeswehr with small and heavy weapons.
Following the formation of The European Federation, the DWF was split down the middle between supporting the newly formed Federation, or defecting to Hanse. This decision was made slightly easier after European forces stormed major DWF facilities, occupying them until they made up their minds. Those who opted to not cooperate, including the CEO, fled to Switzerland where they now operate as the “real” DWF, from facilities originally belonging to Oerlikon Contraves. To this day, both corporations claim to be the lawful owner of all DWF facilities, though functionally the European side remains the de jure owner of the majority of facilities.
The DWF mostly deals in small arms, cannons, missiles, and other infantry and vehicle equipment, though also aids in producing and maintaining the Federal Armed Forces’ fleet of armoured vehicles, which is a responsibility it shares alongside Lyons Heavy Engineering and Abbott Defence.
