Under-equipped German army gets 100 billion euro makeover:

Broadcast three times a week in the second half of the evening on the public channel ZDF, Markus Lanz's talk show is one of the most watched in Germany. On May 18, the host invited the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Armed Forces of the Bundestag onto his show. This position, which has been held by the former MP Eva Högl (SPD, Social Democratic Party) since 2020, is best known to the general public for its annual report on the state of the Bundeswehr, the armed forces of Germany.

During the program, Ms. Högl obviously could not address all the points made in the 178 pages of her latest report, published on March 15. But she summarized the main idea: "We live in one of the richest countries in the world, in the heart of Europe, and our 184,000 soldiers do not even have the equipment they need. This is a scandal!"
