Military Administration (Nazi Germany)

During World War II, Nazi Germany created military-led regimes in occupied territories which were known as a Military Administration (Militärverwaltung). These differed from Reichskommissariate which were led by Nazi Party officials. A Military Administration was led by a "Military Commander" (Militärbefehlshaber, official acronym MilBfh.).

The various Military Administrations created by Germany were:


 * Military Administration in Poland (Militärverwaltung in Polen), later divided into territories which were directly annexed into Germany, and the General Government (Generalgouvernement).
 * Military Administration in France (Militärverwaltung in Frankreich)
 * Military Administration in Belgium and Northern France (Militärverwaltung in Belgien und Nordfrankreich)
 * Military Administration in Greece (Militärverwaltung in Griechenland)
 * Military Administration in Serbia (Militärverwaltung in Serbien)
 * Military Administration in the Soviet Union (Militärverwaltung in der Sowjetunion), divided into Operational zones (Operationszone Ost) directly behind the front, and Army Rear Areas (Rückwärtige Heeresgebieten) further away.
