This is what wikipedia says.
Wehrmacht (listen) (help·info) ("armed forces", literally "defence force") was the name of the unified armed forces of Germany from 1935 to 1945. The Wehrmacht consisted of the Heer (army), the Kriegsmarine (navy) and the Luftwaffe (air force). The Waffen-SS, an initially small paramilitary section of Heinrich Himmler's Allgemeine SS that grew to nearly a million strong during World War II, was not officially part of the Wehrmacht, but subject to OKW, OKH, as well as Field Command. Thus, the Waffen-SS was, de facto, a fourth branch of the Wehrmacht. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wehrmacht

Wehrmacht means armed might, the present day equivalent in English of armed forces.

not really wrong per say...
Calling the Heer by the name "Wehrmacht" would have been much like someone today calling the United States Marine Corps the "Armed Forces" or the "military" though their proper name is "United States Marine corps" it would not be really wrong to call the "the military". make sense??

I think when you show this thread to whoever is in discussion with you will think two things (amongst so many others)
1. Why get so many to fight your own battles 2. A big stick to crack a little egg I DID NOT VOTE ON THIS POLL EITHER
