Looks like an Accuracy International rifle. Is it the same one as the L96?

Armed Forces.

Bund means 'Union' as in Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Wehr means defense as in 'Abwehr', I believe. Combining the two is the 'Joint Defensive Force' of Germany, the Bundeswehr. It comprises the Marine (Navy), Luftwaffe(Airforce) and the Heer (Army).

German viewers; correct me If I'm wrong ...

[Haiw]

Yeah you got it right. It basically means 'Uniondefense'. It's their title for the Armed forces (so navy, airforce & army).

[Dennis G]

ok thanks guys


In WWII they were call Wehrmacht--Whats that mean?

[Haiw]

Literal translation would be something like 'Defense power'.

[fdt]

Thx God they were issued some rag and adhesive tape...

Not quite correct. The "Bund" comes not from "Union" in this context, but from "federal", as in "Bundesländer" (federal countries), or "Bundesstaaten" (federal states). So "Bundeswehr" means, its the combined army of the federal states, Germany consits of. Also "wehr" does not necessarily mean "abwehr" (defense) in particular. "Wehr" comes from "sich wehren" (to resist or to fend) which is not quite the same.

So i dont think there is an adequate direct translation of Bundeswehr. Bundeswehr as well as Wehrmacht is just a german synonym of Armed Forces. So i would translate both to "German Armed Forces".
