Scandal in the German army: Around a hundred dismissals due to neo-Nazism

By comparison, in 2023, 62 soldiers were dismissed from the German army for making racist and right-wing extremist statements or for being associated with right-wing extremist groups. Thus, in May 2024, a soldier in Cologne sang right-wing extremist songs and gave a Nazi salute.What is particularly worrying is the fact that more than 17 cases of Nazi salutes by German soldiers were recorded during 2024. These cases refer only to professional soldiers, but not to reservists, and it is expected that the new report to be published next week would have a higher number of incidents.Member of the Bundestag Zada Salihović believes that the growing number of incidents of right-wing extremists is alarming.&quot;In some cases, the accused still had access to weapons or even acted as instructors and superiors,&quot; Salihović said.The rise of neo-Nazism and extremism in the security and military structures in Germany is attributed to wider sociological problems and trends in German society.
