	Bundeswehr - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		If Germany is in a state of defence, the chancellor becomes commander in chief of the Bundeswehr.
		In 1999, the NATO war on Yugoslavia in Kosovo was the first offensive conflict in which the German military actively took part since the Second World War.
		Today defence is seen as including not only defence at the borders of Germany, but also as crisis reaction and conflict prevention, or broadly as saving the security of Germany anywhere in the world.

	Germany
		Germany stretches from the high mountains of the Alps (highest point: the Zugspitze[?] at 2,963 m) in the south to the shores of the North and Baltic Seas in the north.

	Print Article: Germany slashes military spending (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		Germany has announced sweeping cuts in its military spending in a move that will infuriate NATO and hamper plans to reshape the army for modern warfare.
		Germany's hope of capping its military budget at 24.4 billion euros ($43.5billion) contrasts with plans to increase military spending by its main allies amid heightened security concerns over Islamic militants and the possibility of a war with Iraq.
		Germany's own military focus has switched to peacekeeping, crisis management and the "war against terrorism", rather than defending itself from Cold War attacks.

	Germany - Former Military Man Tells His Story
		Also, one of his military base-mates told my contact and his military friends about how he had been sent, circa 1984-86, to do daytime guard duty in a remote, desert area of the US Southwest.
		Months after telling my (enlisted) contact and his (enlisted) military friends of the incident, the given soldier was arrested by his Army superiors and taken in on reportedly trumped up charges.
		Further complicating the case is the fact that my contact's military colleagues (all enlisted) had long been interested in anything that smacked of alien-related doings in the Army.

	Britain seeks to push Germany down the military path
		Britain's partnership with Germany in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and in the European Union (EU) is now old hat, but Germany's first involvement in a war effort since the end of World War II has provoked far more of a hysterical backlash within Germany than in Britain.
		That move to welcome a new Germany to play a military role in a new era was pushed strongly by British Prime Minister Tony Blair at a rally of the ruling Social Democratic Party (SPD) in Nuremberg.
		The Nuremberg rally, where the leader of New Labor sought a military role for what he called a "new Germany", was a significant milestone in calling for Germany to play a stronger military role after its earlier interventions in Kosovo and Macedonia.

	Prussia's Emergence as a Military Power
		The German military heritage was epitomized by a succession of Prussian rulers in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
		The new Prussian army distinguished itself at the Battle of Leipzig in 1813 and again at Waterloo in 1815, where, under the command of Field Marshal Gebhard von Bluecher, the army was instrumental in the ultimate defeat of Napoleon.
		Clausewitz's dictum that civilians should control the military was ignored, and the General Staff became a power center in the highly militaristic regimes of Kaiser Wilhelm I (1858-88) and Kaiser Wilhelm II (1888-1918).

	Germany (East) Socialist Military Education - Flags, Maps, Economy, History, Climate, Natural Resources, Current ...
		Military education had been stressed in East Germany since the founding of the republic, and in 1978 it was made a formal component of the school curriculum as an independent educational subject for the ninth and tenth grades of the republic's schools.
		Socialist military education began in kindergarten, where the children played games with a military orientation and learned songs and poems about soldiers.
		The school system, reinforced by the family, was to lay the basis for forming--as early as possible--what the SED called the image of the enemy and instilling hatred for all foes of socialism, with emphasis on the soldiers of the West German Bundeswehr.

	Germany rejects Iran military option
		German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder has rejected the threat of military force against Iran, hours after US President George Bush said he would consider it as a last resort to press Tehran to give up its nuclear program.
		Mr Schroeder's opposition to the Iraq war was seen as a decisive factor in his unexpected victory in the 2002 general election, which he won narrowly after coming from behind.
		His critical stance caused serious ruptures in Germany's traditionally strong relations with the United States.

	Military Bases in Germany (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
		The large American military presence in Germany has long symbolized the understanding at the heart of NATO —; Washington's commitment to remain permanently engaged in Europe's security and to integrate its military operations with those of its major European allies.
		Having also spent a great deal of time in Germany, I find the Germans to be an often-unpleasant mix of rabid, wild-eyed socialist/environmentalists (with the emphasis on "mental"), and unrepentant Nazi sympathisers of the "well at least the streets were clean and the trains ran on time" variety.
		Instead of maintaining troops and their families in Germany, I'd heard that the plan was to relocate our troops into smaller bases in the Balkans and nearer to the new flashpoints in the Middle East.

		Indeed, after the outbreak of war in Bosnia in the early 1990s, Germany revised its constitution to allow its forces to be deployed as peacekeepers.

		They rated me suitable for military sercive with restrictions for certain tasks, but I am going to refuse the military sercive according to the german law.
		It feels kind of strange that the only reason to refuse the military service in order to do your civil service is that you could never hold a weapon up against a person or even kill someone and that you can not harmonize your conscience to the fact of killing.

	A Germany-Soviet Military-Economic Comparison
		Germany essentially lost the Second World War on the Eastern Front and the key to that loss can be directly attributed to the different economic and industrial factors of both the Soviet Union and the Third Reich.
		Germany was able to (reasonably) supply her forces with military supplies in the early years of the war, when she fought a series of small, quick action campaigns.
		Germany lost the Second World War not because of any single military action, she lost it primarily to a war of economic and human attrition.

	THE U.S. ARMY IN THE OCCUPATION OF GERMANY
		Although the likelihood of US military forces occupying Germany appeared infinitesimal in the late 1930s and only slightly greater in the first two years of the 1940s, the actions taken in those years were in some ways more significant than the subsequent mission-oriented plans and preparations.
		While military government is not the sole subject of the volume, it is one of the main subjects, and after March 1946 control of military government passed to the Office of Military Government in Berlin, which, although it was headed lay an Army general, regarded itself as predominantly a civilian agency.
		Military government as it was conceived during the war and installed in Germany in 1944 and 1945 had ended.
