Abstract

In the book "The Bundeswehr: From its founding to the turning point", Wilfried von Bredow describes the journey of the Bundeswehr from its founding to the present. He emphasizes the importance of integrating the armed forces into society as a whole and their anchoring in multinational alliance structures. The author also describes the challenges that the Bundeswehr had to face in various phases of its development, such as the integration of the remnants of the National People's Army (NVA) of the German Democratic Republic (DDR) and the transformation from a defense and deterrent force to a "force in action". However, von Bredow criticizes the excessive bureaucracy as the main problem of the Bundeswehr. The book provides a comprehensive insight into the history and development of the Bundeswehr and includes important documents as well as further literature. [Extracted from the article]
