	Behind the sacking of German Defence Minister Scharping
		Scharping himself set the initial process in motion for the reestablishment of a military general staff, something that had not existed in Germany since the negative experiences made under Hitlerite fascism.
		Scharping’s dilemma was plainly visible in January of this year when he signed a contract for the procurement of 73 type A400M transport airplanes, even though the financing for the planes had not been clarified and the purchase contravened budget regulations laid down by the German parliament.
		The abrupt sacking of Scharping, who was the leading candidate of the SPD in national elections in 1994 and chairman of the party until 1995, will undoubtedly be interpreted by the military as a signal to step up their own political and financial agenda.

		For Scharping, "disarming the rhetoric" so the Americans and Europeans can talk about what is really happening and act together to address problems that know no borders is the important message to bring to the leaderships in the Atlantic alliance.
		Scharping acknowledged that Europeans have to be made more aware of the fact that the American public and its leadership feel they are at war against terrorism, and that they must act to protect themselves.

	Central Europe Review - German News Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Defence Minister Rudolf Scharping is trying to secure a leading role in the restructuring of the German army, the Bundeswehr, after the Weizsäcker Committee came forward Tuesday with a drastic proposal to cut army strength from 320,000 to 240,000, at the same time reducing the share of Wehrpflichtige (conscripted recruits) from 130,000 to 30,000.
		Scharping, whose personal views are known to run quite contrary to the committee's proposals, nevertheless stated publicly on Tuesday that he endorsed the "core" elements of the report.
		No reasons for this move have been officially revealed, but it was obviously a sacrifice made by the Minister and represents another blow to army professionals who for years have had to fight the political class' neglect and disregard of the armed forces.

		Rudolf Scharping revealed this alleged plan on April 7, 1999, stating: "In clearly discernible phases from October [1998] to the Rambouillet negotiations, the Yugoslav Army and the Yugoslav State Police not only began to prepare for the expulsion of the population, but had already started this mass expulsion.
