The German Political and Military used a vast amount of different edged weapons both during and before the war. Political organizations issued their members dress bayonets, daggers and swords that were unique in design and were made especially to differentiate the organizations from one another. The military forces also had their own style of dagger and sword that signified membership in the air force, army and navy. German military forces used many different types of bayonets and fighting knives during combat, including types captured from countries defeated by Germany during the war.
