Default Germany cites anti-Hitler plotters as role model for today's military

Germany cites anti-Hitler plotters as role model for today's military

July 20, 2020

Faced with growing concern over right-wing extremism in Germany's military, the country's defense minister on Monday marked the anniversary of a failed plot to kill Adolf Hitler by urging today's soldiers to take their inspiration from those who tried to assassinate the Nazi dictator.

Speaking at a ceremony in Berlin swearing in new recruits on the 76th anniversary of the July 20, 1944, plot, Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer said right-wing soldiers who admire the Nazi-era Wehrmacht military have no place in today's military.

Quote:
When the Bundeswehr was established in 1955, its founding principles were based on developing a completely new military force for the defence of West Germany. In this respect the Bundeswehr did not consider itself to be a successor to either the Reichswehr (1921-1935) of the Weimar Republic or Hitler's Wehrmacht (1935-1946). Neither does it adhere to any traditions of any former German military organization. Its official ethos is based on three major themes:

. the aims of the military reformers at the beginning of the 19th century such as Scharnhorst, Gneisenau, and Clausewitz.

. the conduct displayed by members of the military resistance against Adolf Hitler, especially the attempt of Claus von Stauffenberg and Henning von Tresckow to assassinate him.

. Its own tradition since 1955.

In other words, the modern German armed forces venerate traitors to Germany like Stauffenberg and Tresckow.
