Last week, the media reported that drunken German soldiers in Lithuania sang Nazi songs on Hitler’s birthday. In addition, they distinguished themselves by sexually abusing one of their colleagues.
Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer said that the Nazi rape party harms the reputation of Germany. According to the RND newspaper, she asked the commanders to provide those in need with protection from extremism and illegal actions. Allegedly, the ministry received information about sexual assaults, bullying, xenophobic songs of the Nazi era, which are sung by German soldiers.
Violators were threatened with dismissal.
Senator Alexey Pushkov wrote on this occasion in the Telegram channel: “It turned out what the German battalion, designed to protect the eastern borders of NATO from Russian aggression, is doing in Lithuania. Since there is no aggression, and there is no threat either, and the German servicemen are well aware of this, they arrange drinking parties, accost local residents, shout anti-Semitic slogans, sing songs from the Nazi era, and once even raped (!) their colleague.
According to him, ” this is how the Bundeswehr servicemen perform the tasks assigned to NATO.”
“There is nothing in common with the alliance’s commercials. And do they even need them there?the senator asks a rhetorical question.
The former Soviet Baltic republics were admitted to NATO. Soviet troops were withdrawn from their territory. Their place was taken by NATO troops, who serve there on a rotational basis.
