Contradicting Reports: Germany's Military Strength in Question.

Germany's Parliamentary Commissioner for Armed Forces, Eva Högl, has released a report detailing the disastrous condition of the German military, known as the Bundeswehr, which lacks not only the necessary boats, planes, tanks, and military equipment but also the necessary education and training for its personnel. Despite the German government earmarking €100 billion for the modernization of the Bundeswehr, Högl's report reveals that the German armed forces are yet to receive those funds while expressing frustration at the slow procurement rate. The report also highlights kit shortages, shoddy infrastructure, and dilapidated barracks with walls propped up by sandbags.
