Because we all know that if the German civ...Uh-huh. Because we all know that if the German civil police had been unable to restore order, the Wehrmacht would have refused an order from Hitler to shoot any rioters. Maybe the fact that the Wehrmacht mostly remained loyal to the Nazi regime still makes Germans a bit uncomfortable. <br /><br />But as Basil Fawlty said, we're all friends now. Let's have no more talk about the war.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02502147414798101604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5737853305204847838.post-32415745557639249312012-08-18T17:30:27.963+01:002012-08-18T17:30:27.963+01:00The Bundeswehr can be employed for domestic purpos...The Bundeswehr can be employed for domestic purposes in case a 2/3 majority of the Bundestag rules to declare that the very existance of the FRG as described by the constitution in in danger.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5737853305204847838.post-29554188801048707842012-08-18T16:04:13.222+01:002012-08-18T16:04:13.222+01:00"...after Nazi-era abuses."
Actually, t..."...after Nazi-era abuses."<br /><br />Actually, the Nazis used other forces for domestic employment than the military.<br /><br /><br />Instead, the pre-WWI Imperial-era military was the coining force. There was a particularly scandalous episode in the imperial-controlled Alsace-Lothringia (not a German state, but German post-1871) that still motivates a German aversion against domestic employment of the military.<br /><br /><br />Hypocritically, the major charge against the 1919-1933 Reichswehr is that it was not available for center-left governments against right-wing uprisings, but did help smash left-wing uprisings.<br />The failed coup by Hitler et al in 1923 was shot to pieces by a line of policemen with carbines instead, for example.S Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03359796414832859686noreply@blogger.com
