{{lang|de|Wehrmacht}} Propaganda Troops ({{lang-de|Wehrmachtpropaganda}}, abbreviated as {{lang|de|WPr}}) was a branch of service of the {{lang|de|Wehrmacht}} and the {{lang|de|Waffen-SS}} of Nazi Germany during World War II. Subordinated to the High Command of the {{lang|de|Wehrmacht}} (the {{lang|de|Oberkommando der Wehrmacht}}), its function was to produce and disseminate propaganda materials aimed at the German troops and the population. Planning and formationThe planning for propaganda activities by the Wehrmacht began in 1938.

He deferred to the military in setting up and controlling the propaganda companies, but provided assistance in supplying personnel.{{sfn|Kallis|2005|pp=57–59}} Function and operationThe service was subordinated to the Chief of Operation Staff, General Alfred Jodl.
