It was then headed by the general and military historian Hugo Kerchnawe . Together with the German Society for Heereskunde , it published the cultural and scientific organ Zeitschrift für Heereskunde . With the annexation of Austria it came to the organizational integration into the German society. After 1945 the name was temporarily deleted from the register of associations.

A re-establishment as the "Society for Austrian Army Studies" (GÖHK) was operated in 1974 by the historian Franz Kaindl . Before that, a working group for flag and flag customers was organized .

In 2001 the association was renamed the "Austrian Society for Heereskunde" (ÖGHK). Lectures, symposia and excursions at home and abroad are organized.
