{{Short description|None}}
The following is a '''list of German military equipment of World War II''' which includes artillery, vehicles and vessels. World War II was a global war that was under way by 1939 and ended in 1945. Following political instability build-up in Europe from 1930, the Germans, which aimed to dominate Europe, [[Invasion of Poland|attacked Poland on 1 September 1939]], marking the start of World War II. The war in Europe ended 8 May 1945 with [[German Instrument of Surrender|the unconditional surrender of Germany to the Allied forces]].

The Germans 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.<ref>{{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}}</ref>
