List of German military equipment of World War II

{{Short description|none}}

This page contains a list of equipment used the German military of World War II. Germany used a number of type designations for their weapons. In some cases, the type designation and series number (i.e. FlaK 30) are sufficient to identify a system, but occasionally multiple systems of the same type are developed at the same time and share a partial designation.{{cite web|url=http://www.militaryfactory.com/worldwar2/weapons.asp|title=World War 2 Weapons|work=Military Dictionary|access-date=2008-12-10|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081206090806/http://www.militaryfactory.com/worldwar2/weapons.asp|archive-date=2008-12-06|url-status=live}}
