Reivew of article

This article has bigleague problems and needs the attention of someone who expertise in Reichswehr development. There are limited citations (I've added a couple from the Versailles Treaty in Wikisource), quite a few generalizations with no citations, and several ambiguous statements. It's not ready for prime time.

In addition to improved contextualization, specific areas of improvement

1. citations citations citations
2. controversies, such as the problem the Social Democrats faced, also the controversy of the Putsch
3. specific training advances the Germans made, such as with the Stukas
4. impact on tank warfare--did Guderian benefit from the eastern alliances, how? what difference did it make?
5. how does this relate to the development of the Wehrmacht during the metamophosis from Reichswehr into Wehrmacht?
6. Who were Blomberg and Rathenau?

&

7. Ancillary page on Kopp?

The following statement under Restrictions is inaccurate, "The Treaty further prohibited the manufacture, import and export of weapons and poison gas". Checking the citation, Article 171 state, "The use of asphyxiating, poisonous or other gases and all analogous liquids, materials or devices being prohibited, their manufacture and importation are strictly forbidden in Germany." Note it doesn't prohibit export, as the article claims. One is right to question how a country can export if it can neither import or manufacture, but as I've learned from primary source data, namely my grandfather's notes from dealings with King Carol II of Romania, Germany remained within legal bounds of Versailles by exporting poison gas technology to China, who in turn could manufacture all the weapons and technology to Romania it wanted, all legal. This deal went through.
