Alleged German ‘war plan’ leaked
According to Der Spiegel and Bild, key highways would be at NATO’s full disposal in case of a conflict with Russia | The German Defense Ministry has drawn up contingency plans for a potential military conflict with Russia, Der Spiegel and Bild have claimed, having seen the alleged document. The plan reportedly envisages Germany serving as a key transit state for NATO troops, with its population and civil services being expected to assist foreign military personnel. [...] Several key highways would supposedly be used for this purpose, meaning that they would be closed to civilian traffic. Local communities would be expected to supply the passing military personnel with food, housing, resting areas, and fuel, both media outlets claimed. [...] According to Bild, citing a Defense Ministry spokesperson, aside from its role as NATO’s logistical hub, Germany would also need to establish a major prisoner-of-war camp on its soil should a military confrontation with Russia break out. The two media outlets quoted Bundeswehr Inspector General Carsten Breuer as estimating that Berlin has until 2029 to get ready for a potential military conflict with Moscow, as Russia could supposedly be in a position to attack NATO by then.
