Armed forces
Armed Forces (W!) Are a form of a student union . They arose directly after the First World War from other color student associations or were newly founded in order to bypass the Versailles Treaty to spread military knowledge among the academic youth.
From 1919 there was the Teutoburg Representatives' Day (TVT), its own umbrella organization, which was renamed Deutsche Wehrschaft (DW) in 1927 , comprised up to 38 connections and was the first umbrella organization for weapons students to disband under the National Socialists in 1935 . Five armed forces at art and music colleges came together in 1924 in the Bamberger Chargierten-Convent of the armed forces at the art academies of the German Empire and Austria (Bamberger CC), which was founded in 1922 as a cartel association of German corporations at art academies .
Many former military services were transformed into other forms of association such as corps, country teams or fraternities. The last connection of this kind, the Wehrschaft Normannia Bremen in the BDIC , founded in 1922 , was adjourned in 2001.
