Generalfeldmarschall Walter Model (left, Oberbefehlshaber West) at a field briefing with SS-Oberführer Heinz Harmel (Kommandeur 10. SS-Panzer-Division "Frundsberg") in the Western Front, August-September 1944. Oberbefehlshaber West (OB West, High Commander in the West) was the overall commander of the Westheer, the German armed forces on the Western Front during World War II. It was directly subordinate to the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht (the German armed forces High Command). The area under the command of the OB West varied as the war progressed. At its farthest extent it reached the French Atlantic coast. By the end of World War II in Europe it was reduced to commanding troops in Bavaria.
