The article discusses the highlighted book by German historian Sönke Neitzel, relating to the Bundeswehr's changes after World War II and its implications for NATO's eastern flank.
The article focuses on one of the key highlights at the Vilnius Book Fair, detailing the new book by German military historian Sönke Neitzel titled "Ready for War? The Bundeswehr Yesterday and Today." Neitzel argues that after World War II, the Bundeswehr lost its essential function: the capacity and will to fight, hence necessitating reforms. This transformation directly affects NATO’s defense posture along its eastern flank, especially in light of recent geopolitical tensions.
