The Wehrmachtbericht was a daily report made by the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht regarding the military situation on all fronts. The first report was made on 1 September 1939 and the last report was given on 9 May 1945.

References of persons or military units in the Wehrmachtbericht were considered a high military honor and held in high esteem. These references were established by the Oberkommando des Heeres Generaloberst Walther von Brauchitsch on 27 April 1940. A further award, the Honor Roll of the German Heer, was later introduced in middle 1941. Adolf Hitler donated the Honor Roll Clasp of the Heer on 30 January 1944 as a visible and wearable award for bravery.
