Yes, back in 2011. Another legacy of Frau Merkel.

When are true German citizens going to stand up to the idiot politicians in their government and the EU?
I’m sure that offering muslim terrorist immigrants arms, training and citizenship will not improve the German military forces. ...More like welcoming a Trojan horse.

Here’s the thing... your hypothetical kid from Nigeria only needs to make it to France. Once feet dry and registered as a French resident, he then makes his way to the nearest Bundeswehr recruiting office. Germany’s little plan may imagine that it’s going to net Frenchman, Spaniards and Irishmen, but what their really going to get are North Africans, Syrians & Pakistanis who will get a ‘quick rinse’ in the aforementioned EU countries.

“Talking about it...doesn’t mean anyone will enter ‘the door’. I doubt that it’d attract more than 300 a year, and that German language requirement would be the biggest hindrance.”
Depends on how compensation is structured and what the mission will be. Actually, there’s quite a large market for mercenaries, now referred to as contractors. We (U.S.) utilize a large number of contractors in the Middle East. Lots of special op’s guys put in their 20 then jump to a contractor gig for a bunch more money which is ok, nothing wrong with that.

Why would they have any problems recruiting? The last I heard, the German Army only had around 60,000 troops.

Salting your military with hostile foreign aggressors should work out well for Germany.
