We need a better title for this, how about "West German rearmament"? PatGallacher ( talk) 20:41, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
It doesn't make sense because it's a sequence of sentences that make little sense in English, not just because of the content fallacies. 2.25.32.77 ( talk) 00:52, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
The article fails to cover both the continued social and medial debate preceeding and acompanying the rearmament (See Wiederbewaffnung) and the moral and social principles developed as basis for the new German army's self-conception (see Bundeswehr, Innere Führung and Staatsbürger in Uniform) -- Azrael aaaaa ( talk) 11:23, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
Initial paragraph: "They could not function outside an alliance framework" (Meaning?)
Section on intelligence buildup: "Eventually the operations were set to the ground as well" (Meaning?)
Section on 1951 conference: "The EEDCCD was held in Paris" (What is the EEDCCD?)
Confused on these phrases and not confident enough to edit or delete them. What to do? Starkenborgher ( talk) 04:09, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Page moved to West German rearmament. ( non-admin closure) — YoungForever (talk) 00:00, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

German rearmament after World War II –
I am proposing a move of this article, from Wiederbewaffnung (German: "rearmament") to a
natural, descriptive title in English; perhaps
German rearmament after World War II. (See related move request at
Talk:German rearmament.)
The term Wiederbewaffnung is not the WP:COMMONNAME for the post-WW II rearmament of Germany in reliable English sources, and is absent from major English dictionaries. I don't believe there is any single, commonly recognized, WP:PRECISE, WP:CONCISE, term in English sources that unambiguously specifies the post-WW II rearmament of Germany in fewer words than that. If you look into the sources listed in the article, they do use briefer phrases inside the book ("German rearmament", "rebuilding the military", and so on) which are unambiguous in context given the post-WW II topic of the book, but they would be ambiguous standing alone.
None of the sources in this article have the German term in the title. Rather, they use any of various descriptive expressions to specify the time period, usually in one of two ways (emphasis added):
When there is no common name in English, article title policy calls for the use of a natural, descriptive title. I propose " German rearmament after World War II", " German rearmament after the Second World War", or " Post-World War II German rearmament".
