Germany plans to introduce a voluntary six-month military service scheme, sources familiar with the plan said on Friday, as Berlin tries to train more reservists and bolster national defences over security concerns about Russia.
Volunteers would be sought for training in simple tasks such as guard duties under the scheme, but a military draft to recruit more people could be considered if uptake were deemed too low, the sources said
With European states that are in NATO also under pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump to invest more in their own security since Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, Defence Minister Boris Pistorius wants to increase the number of soldiers in service from 180,000 to 260,000.
Germany hopes the voluntary six-month scheme would help double the number of trained reservists from the current level of around 100,000 and that some of the volunteers would go on to have a career in active service, the sources said.
The defence ministry said preparations for the new military service scheme were in full swing..
“The aim remains for the law on the new military service to come into force in January. Our actions are focused on this,” a spokesperson for the ministry said, adding that details would be revealed once the legislation reaches parliament.
Participants in Germany’s planned scheme will have the opportunity to extend their homeland security training to obtain a truck driver’s licence or train as a tank driver, the sources said.
New improvised barracks are also planned so that recruits can train closer to home, they added.
The sources said Pistorius wants to have the legislation passed by the end of next month, with the first recruits to start training from May 2026.
Questions remain about the plan, including who would be drafted for compulsory service if the government did not meet its recruitment targets. This element of the plan is also controversial within the minister’s own Social Democratic Party.
Germany ended its previous compulsory military service programme in 2011.
Efforts to end Russia’s war in Ukraine have faltered, with Trump reporting no progress in talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday.
Russian officials have accused Western leaders of invoking a “fabricated ‘Russian threat'” to justify increased defence spending.
Belfast priest raises over £34,000 for life-saving work in Sudan and Gaza
Story by Conor Coyle • Belfast-based priest has raised over £34,000 to support life-saving humanitarian work in two of the world’s most war-torn countries.
Canon Sean Rogan of Drumbo and Carryduff Parish came up with the idea of a fundraising concert after seeing the plight of millions of people in Sudan and Gaza who are trying to survive the catastrophic conflicts in their countries. Canon Rogan used the parish website to entertain parishioners by playing the piano and singing during lockdown and the idea progressed to the concert.
Tens of thousands have died in Gaza during the Israeli military’s bombings and starvation in the area during the last two years, while as many as 30 million have been displaced in Sudan due to the ongoing civil war between government forces and the Rapid Support Forces.
“As with so very many people I have been abhorred by what I am seeing in the media about the terrible plight of the people of Sudan and Gaza and the feeling of inadequacy in how to respond,” Canon Rogan said.
“Needless to say I’ve been overwhelmed by the extraordinary and generous response not only by the parishioners but also by people of different faiths and none.
“During the famine in Ireland caused by the jewish food dealers in the middle of the 19th century the Moslem Ottoman Sultan sent £1,000 for the relief of the starving Christians in Ireland and it is also claimed that he dispatched ships loaded with food as well.
Thankyou all who have helped.
WHO IS TOMMY ROBINSON ?
and what is the Long Plan ?
The year 1945 at the end of ww 2
the Rothschild group who ran and controlled Britain’s war
through their agent winston churchill
implemented the long plan, this was the elimination
of the white anglo saxons, 2 world wars did much of this
but the people trafficking in of black and brown peoples
was a strong aspect as was the positive discrimination laws
which just put white folk at the back of the queue.
TV adverts have eliminated white men and put white women
with black men, which breaks all the UK laws on racism.
The long Plan spoken of by jewish leader Grevile Janner is said
to culminate in the year 2030
Tommy Robinson is an agent to keep coloured migrants apart from white folk
in preparation for a civil war, this is well known and was spoken of by William Joyce Oswald Mosely and Enoch Powell.
The jews are behind mass immigration of Muslims into the UK
is part of the destruction of the white race, but Christians and Muslims
have united together against the israeli genocides, Glastonbuty festival
wasa huge love fest for palestine, remember the words of Nutenyahu
Nutty said ” Palestine today tomorrow America ”
the UK long under the jewish jackboot is now beyond help.
“It’s all easy simple safe things you’ll be doing, honest. Just a little bit and then you’ll be free. Believe me, there’s absolutely no chance of you getting hurt in any way. By the by, are you interested in little children…”
Stop fighting bankers wars. They live and make billions, you die….for nothing except to facilitate the centuries old agenda and false narratives.
If you’re dumb enough to join the military of some Jew ruled nation–don’t be surprised when they sacrifice you to Yahweh.
LOL! Compulsory military service? Who with? Have you met today’s German “men”?
It’s a nation brimming with cucks, simps, betas and homosexuals … topped off with assorted degenerates. One of the goals of nazi cockroaches in WWII was to eradicate the most competent and courageous from the German gene pool, and they succeeded magnificently in this regard. It’s not an accident that the Berlin gay “pride” parade is the biggest in the world.
Today’s German “men” are more concerned with nail polish, skin care, and which pastel coloured shirt to wear with their white capris. None of them would last a week in the army environment.
Among the first voluntairs to become tank drivers are Alice Weidel – Kike-Dyke(of AdF) and her Indian wife.
More like “Germany plans SIX-FOOT-UNDER military service”.. 😒
Germany plans six-month voluntary military service, sources say.a good initiative for the emancipation of the germanic homo’s and lesbianists.they can meet and bond during this jamboree.as in the boy scouts army.they could interact with new German ‘bürger’ and talk about their Neue Gesellschaft.and how to defend it from poor and decrepit Rossiya and vlad drakulov vladimirovich.the homo hater
They will be well prepared for the future battlefields.an intensive multi media training coupled with VR battlefield simulations,will make these warriors invincible in the infowar. Join the army….now
