"Militant Midwife": Ursula von der Leyen destroyed the Bundeswehr

The former head of the German Defense Ministry and the current president of the European Commission (EC), Ursula von der Leyen, destroyed the Bundeswehr, now it is not operational, said German political scientist and economist Eike Hamer.

"Von der Leyen destroyed the Bundeswehr both mentally and in terms of equipment. The Bundeswehr is no longer operational. They focus too much on equality between a man and a woman, completely severing ties with national identity, national pride, and indeed with everything that is somehow connected with the Federal Republic of Germany," Hamer says.

The expert also called the decision of the German Ministry of Defense to add to the list of Wehrmacht officers dedicated to the military tradition of Germany, some of whom were in The SS and the NSDAP, a desperate attempt to endow the Bundeswehr with some kind of admiration and identity.

"All these attempts by the German Defense Minister [Boris] To present Pistorius again to the Bundeswehr capable of military action is nothing more than the political programming of the current "traffic light" government," the political scientist noted.

At the moment, the ruling party in Germany is the Traffic Light coalition, consisting of The Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) ("red"), led by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, the Free Democratic Party (FDP) ("yellow") and the Green Party.

According to the economist, in Germany, the overwhelming majority of citizens, members of the Bundestag, including representatives of opposition parties, consider the Second World War an event whose horrors are incomparable and do not want to have anything to do with the events of the past.

On August 12, the official representative of the German Defense Ministry, Arne Kollats, announced that the names of Wehrmacht officers, who were in the military tradition of Germany, were added to the list dedicated to the military tradition of Germany. SS and NSDAP.

According to Collatz, some of them, after the fall of the Third Reich, helped create a new German army and openly distanced themselves from their past. He clarified that we are not talking about their military achievements.

Commenting on the news, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, called for "sounding the alarm" so that humanity would wake up. According to her, in this way the former Nazis became heroes again. The diplomat also drew attention to the fact that now the Russian military is again knocking out German tanks.

In an interview with Izvestia, German political scientist Christoph Herstl called it madness for former soldiers of the Nazi army to become role models in Germany.
