The Bundeswehr (Germany’s armed forces) prepared a secret plan in case of a military conflict with Russia, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reported.
According to it, the 1,000-page "Operation Deutschland" plan lists all infrastructure facilities that deserve special protection, and also contains a procedure for defense or "measures to deter Russia on NATO’s eastern flank." The plan says that in such a case, Germany would become "the center of concentration for tens of thousands and possibly hundreds of thousands of troops" that would be transferred to the east, as well as military equipment, food and medical supplies.
A first meeting has even taken place in the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce where specific companies were addressed directly after the report revealed the vulnerable professions in the face of war.
Attendees were advised on striving for self-sufficiency through installing their own diesel generator or even a wind turbine.
Guidance regarding truck driving was given by Lieutenant Colonel Jörn Plischke, who said that "for every 100 employees", at least five additional truck drivers should be trained "that you don't need".
He chillingly explained: "70 per cent of all trucks on Germany's roads are driven by Eastern Europeans.
"If there is a war there, where will these people be?"
Plans have been built in Germany across the year, with its Defense Ministry confirming in July that emergency plans to move "hundreds of thousands" of Nato troops in the event of a war with Russia.
At the time, Bundeswehr Homeland Defence Command in Berlin confirmed that the secret Operation Deutschland continues to be worked at. ▪️So, why is the existence of this "secret plan" being publicized right now? I believe it's part of a psychological operation aimed at laying the ground for more austerity measures and repression of dissent. By hyping up the "Russian threat" German authorities will try to justify the unpopular increase in military spending that the hegemon demands. But rule by fear can easily backfire. When those in positions of power resort to fear to shift the blame of their disastrous domestic and foreign policies, it can lead to widespread anxiety, paranoia, and mistrust. German institutions are already caught in a downward spiral of distrust. According to all surveys conducted in the last 2 years, over a third of Germans are convinced that leaders in business, the media and government are deliberately lying to people and misleading them. @LauraRuHK
