German Army Could Be Deployed To Streets For First Time Since 1945, Thanks To Merkel's Immigration
Breitbart ^ | November 18, 2015 | By Oliver Lane

Finance minister Wolfgang Schauble has said the German army could be deployed to the streets in a security role, should the nation come under attack.

Reflecting on post-Paris terror attacks security reviews, politician Mr. Schauble admitted that German police resources were basically insufficient for the enormous task at hand. Looking to where extra manpower could come from in times of national stress, the said the nation should look to the army.

The minister said: "If we had a situation like Paris, perhaps with roadblocks in three or four places, you will need to think about whether our police capabilities are sufficient", adding that the national police were already overtaxed on "many normal weekends", reports Germany's NewsTV.

I doubt it’ll be much more than half hearted. I got an email from a German friend and he still has his head up hit liberal butt after Paris and those 5 terrorists arrested in his German hometown today. He’s under the delusion they won’t do anything in Germany. He refuses to see that it’s already happening. Germany will always remain Germany and all that. He is more angry that some “normal people” were arrested on suspicion but soon released.

“the Kraut army will have to protect the peaceful moozlyms!”

Kinda doubt it. When an army is given a choice of killing their families or protecting invaders, the invaders always lose. Bye-bye, moslem invaders. Incidentally, the leaders who order the army to kill their countrymen end up tortured and dead, ie, see Mussolini, Qaddhafi, Ceaușescu, etc.

The Morlock Merkel has gotta be really sweating it in her commie rathole.

I also have an Americanized German friend, she lives in Atlanta, and she explained what appears to be utterly unbelievable to us. Apparantly (and I frankly forget why) Germans have a very soft spot for refugees now. No matter if it kills them. She is for more Islamic settlement.

Crazy, but it's the whole country, apparently.

Seems to me hat there was a German Army in the streets from 1945 through 1989. At least in half of Germany.

The press should ask merkel if she is being blackmailed or bribed to let in the refugees.

Also, you gotta wonder how it benefits the donors when they are clearly pushing for the destruction of the west. Is it financial, e. g. Are these PTBs shorting western currencies?

Total number of Bundeswehr in uniform is only 60k total...France mobilized about 115,000 for the nationwide security sweep the other day.

Merkel pledged to take 500k refugees in first tranche of muzzies.

Germany went through two revisions with their Constitution in terms of the Bundeswehr.

After the early 1960s Hamburg flood....they wrote a piece in that said for emergency help...the Army could be called upon and help in civilian matters.

After 9-11, they wrote another piece in and it simply said that basic support could be provided on security. That mostly ended up bringing German military organizations to US bases to act as extra security.

This final step....where troops would be armed and assuming patrols (like you see in France) is a bit more difficult for the Berlin leadership to accept. There’s still some feelings that the Army was part of the 1930s situation.

The public has no issue with the Army in a public protection role....it’s the Berlin leadership I think that is hesitant to go this next step.

First thing they should do is arrest her for treason.
