Abstract – In January 2019 the “Wehrbeauftragter of the German Bundestag” (Parliamentary Commissioner for the Armed Forces), Hans-Peter Bartels, handed over his report for the year 2018 to the President of the German Bundestag, Wolfgang Schäuble. The German Armed Forces Association (DBwV) commented on this report. For example, the Federal Chairman, Lieutenant Colonel André Wüstner, was on public television. Bartels had described the problematic state of the German Armed Forces, which is characterized by a continued lack of personnel and equipment. He called for the bureaucracy in the German Armed Forces, too. Wüstner agreed with him in his interview in a lot of points.
