Under US pressure to bolster its armed forces so as to deter supposed Russian aspirations to invade NATO countries, Germany is moving toward reinstating military conscription, with the initial steps centering questionnaires and medical exams that will feed a database detailing each young man’s fitness, aptitude and willingness to serve. The plan was agreed upon by Germany’s coalition government on Thursday, and now goes to parliament, where the ruling coalition has a slim majority of 12 seats out of a 630 total.
If Germany reinstates conscription, holding a German passport means possibly fighting in a foreign war, while not holding a German passport means access to the welfare state.

Today, the German armed forces — the Bundeswehr — has about 180,000 service members. The government said it was laying out a plan to have 260,000 people on active-duty service, with another 200,000 reservists, which is triple the current reserve force. In the first step, to be taken in 2026, the government will send questionnaires to every 18-year-old in the country. Men will be legally obliged to complete it; for women, it will be optional. The questionnaires will gauge respondents’ inclination and willingness to serve. Then, starting in July 2027, men will be required to report for a medical examination.
Germany drafted men for military service from 1956 until 2011, when the country adopted the US model of a professional, voluntary force. Rather than abolishing conscription — which would have required a constitutional amendment — it was merely suspended that year. Reinstating it would only require a simple majority of the parliament. However, unless the constitution is changed, women will remain exempt.
For now, conscription will not be put to a vote, as the government hopes to achieve its enormous military expansion — 44% growth in active-duty ranks — via recruitment of willing volunteers. “We will make voluntary service more attractive,” said Jens Spahn, parliamentary leader of the conservative Christian Democrats (CDU) party. “We want to win over as many young people as possible for the service for the fatherland.” If that fails, however, “we’ll need to make it obligatory,” he added. Without providing details, the government has said a lottery system would be employed. The Bundeswehr will report on its recruitment efforts every six months, ready to request the reinstatement of conscription to make up any shortfalls.
A recent poll for Stern magazine found that a slim majority of Germans favored reinstating the draft. However, 63% of Germans between 18 and 29 years old opposed it.
German defense minister Boris Pistorius told Germans there was “no cause for concern…no reason for fear…The more capable of deterrence and defense our armed forces are, through armament through training and through personnel, the less likely it is that we will become a party to a conflict at all.” Pistorius and Chancellor Friedrich Merz have set a goal for having Europe’s largest military and to be “war-ready” by 2029. Doing its part to promote German militarism, the Wall Street Journal’s report on the conscription plan credulously cited unnamed “military analysts [who] think Russia may be able and willing to attack NATO” by that year.
” Germany is moving toward reinstating military conscription,” — how many of the “new Germans” from the turd world will be forced to join up?
“German defense minister Boris Pistorius told Germans there was “no cause for concern…no reason for fear…”
PISS-torius — just any lying politico. Best ignored!!
It was clear back in the 1980s as neoliberal ideology was fiercely implemented at whatever the social costs that one day Nazism will be back because capitalism was so harmful it would end up consuming itself. They’ll rebrand it differently for sure: eco faux-leather belts and holsters, hand-crafted sterling silver rank and unit insignia and for the modern Nazi with an eye on style designer jackboots with laces and so forth.
Once Nazism is installed it will be as ruthless as ever, but I think next time it won’t be speaking German. It will speak English with an American accent, and probably it will take the Russians to save us again.
“One in two recipients of citizen’s allowance doesn’t have a German passport”. Notice they don’t say “aren’t ethnically German”. This is because they want to obscure the fact that almost 100% of welfare recipients come from a migrant background, with half having been granted citizenship by our ‘leaders’, hence they have German passports.
Young men… flee Germany. Your ‘leaders’ want your death, but what would you be fighting for? Muslim rule? Globalist communist rule? Every day humiliation of ethnic Germans? Intentionally imposed poverty? Technocracy? Supporting the evil state isn’t worth your service or death!
What happens if a German crosses the border into the Netherlands and claims asylum? They can claim that they are fleeing war.
The Germans die in a war, the new Germans take over the country.
Sounds like a plan.

Oh this should be good. Those aren’t the Germans of old, as the recent generations’ yarbles have been removed and stuffed in their mouths. Almost as laughable as seeing the French across a field of battle or the Lostralians in front of their own homes. Send in the f*cking clowns. The only thing German military-age males should be enlisting for is to crush the orc invaders and chase the treasonous politicians and financiers through the streets and destroy them….if they have any yarbles…
@antiJHWH Right on!
Utterly offensive “defense” minister Boreass Pisspantius should be worked over with claw hammers and hanged from a highway overpass with his pants around his ankles and a copy of The Protocols shoved up his ass.
