As is anything ending in "...ung", or "... schaft" I think. But the Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe, Kriegsmarine and SS are feminine while the Heer is neuter! And Geschwader is neuter (as are all collective nouns) while Gruppe, Staffel, Kette and Rotte are feminine and Schwarm is masculine.
It would help if they could come to a historic agreement with their French neighbours as well. At the moment they even disagree over the gender of Sun, the Moon and the World.
