When did the German people learn that they had a large, powerful military, in violation of the Versailles Treaty?
score:8
If people were paying attention, March 1929 when Die Weltbühne published an account of secret German rearmament. If they weren't, rearmament was officially revealed in a speech by Hitler on March 16, 1935.
Here's a list of public violations of the Versailles Treaty and public displays of military power.
- March 1929: Die Weltbühne publishes an account of secret German rearmament.
- March 16, 1935: Hitler announces rearmament and conscription.
- April/May 1935: Germany informs Britain it has begun building U-Boats.
- June 1935: The Anglo-German Naval Agreement is signed.
- March 1936: Remilitarization of the Rhineland
- February 1937: The Battle of Jarama in the Spanish Civil War features the German aircraft and Panzer I tanks of the Condor Legion.
The Spanish Civil War demonstrated that Germany now possessed a capable, modern military in violation of Versailles.
When and how did the larger portion of the German population learn that their country had a massive, well equipped, and powerful military again?
A footnote on that "massive, well equipped, and powerful military" part. The early German conquests were part bluff, part brilliance, part incompetence on the part of their enemies. Their army size was often equal to their enemies and their equipment often inferior.
Germany didn't have a "massive, well equipped, and powerful military" until probably Summer 1941 when they initiated Operation Barbarossa, arguably later. The war was started with inadequate tanks (mostly Panzer I and II), too few U-Boats (about 50 and mostly short ranged Type II), aircraft, and a serious lack of motorized transport. Germany had some very good weapons (Panzer III & IV), but never enough of them.

what is not cosidered here are when hitler came to power in 33,he asked the worlds leading powers that if they thought that german armed forces of 100 000 soldiers and no air force allowed peace to be maintained,then why dont all the world powers reduce their armed forces tothe same levels,then peace be assured.only after being rebuffed several times by the powers that be hitler ordered german re-armament.
