Are you sure it's WWII? The German army was known back then as the Wehrmacht, now it's the Bundeswehr.
Bundesgrenzschutz is State Border Guard, ie the German border patrol.

it's post WWII because bundesgrenzschutz ( border guards ) is a unit of the bundeswehr ( German army ) and the term bundeswehr is the name used after the war.
the name of the German army in the WW II is Wehrmacht heer
