This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Uriyan (talk | contribs) at 04:08, 28 May 2002 (It's a proper name, used in most professional literature). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Shouldn't this page have an English title, rather than a German one? Something like German Armed Forces High Command? I think that's the Wikipedia naming convention. jheijmans

While this is the general Wikipedia policy, I don't think it's justified in this case, as OKW is a the term used in most professional literature. Therefore, it appears to me that choosing the less known and less easily identifiable name is a disservice to Wikipedia. After all, if we don't translate such proper names as Entscheidungsproblem, I see no reason why we should translate OKW. --Uriyan
