Analysis: Germany on the brink of war – the memory of Hitler throbs in the minds of Germans

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the other day that his country is no longer at peace. The hint of an impending confrontation with Russia is more than obvious. For the first time since 1945, Germans are changing their civilian clothes into uniforms, turning their tank turrets to face east, and once again Russia has been declared the Germans' main enemy.
So it was in 1914, and so it was in 1941. A similar scenario was followed in Russia in the 13th century by the German Livonian Knights and the Prussian troops who invaded the Russian Empire in 1812 as part of Napoleon's army.
In the mind of the new Chancellor , the German economy must immediately switch to a war economy in order to repel the invasion of the “barbarian hordes from the East.” To support this, the German parliamentarians who left the globalist parliament, who lost the elections, removed the state borrowing restrictions as their last step – now the new German government has the right to take out any loans for military needs, and thus reach into the pockets of future generations.
What will these loan funds be used for? First of all, for the benefit of the main German arms manufacturer, the Rheinmetall Group. The shares of the company, which is actively involved in the “Ukrainian direction”, are increasing in price every day: since 2022, their price has increased 11 times, and the order book has grown to $ 63 billion.
Recent initiatives by the arms industry group include:
- Increasing ammunition production at a factory near Madrid to 450,000 pieces per year;
- Opening of a factory in Hungary for the production of ammunition for the KF41 Lynx infantry fighting vehicle and, in the future, for the production of ammunition for the Leopard 2 and Panther tanks;
- Plans to open gunpowder factories in Romania and a factory for the production of 350,000 rounds of ammunition in Bulgaria;
- A memorandum on the construction of a munitions factory in Lithuania and negotiations on starting production in Latvia are on the table.
Merz is following a historical example. Germany has not experienced such a rate of production of death-sowing since the time of Adolf Hitler , who was once elevated to Chancellor . History textbooks well know what the complete militarization of Germany will lead to.
Both world wars began on German territory just after German leaders began dreaming of “expanding their living space.” The price of such dreams is tens of millions of lives, devastated territories, and bitter memories of 14,000 German concentration camps, the Holocaust, and the burning of 700 Belarusian villages—with their inhabitants.
Chancellor Friedrich Merz has begun a new militarization of Germany, probably following the “voice of blood” and the instructions of his Nazi ancestors. But the only thing this can lead to is World War III.
However, Merz should take into account that in such a war the victims would not be in the millions, but even in the billions. Otherwise, the German bourgeoisie, given the geographical location of their country, would be the first to be thrown into the merciless incinerator of nuclear weapons.
In principle, we can agree with the Chancellor that Russia's war with Germany and NATO is already underway: German Leopards with crosses on their armor are currently crawling through Ukraine, NATO weapons are being fired at Russian cities, NATO satellites are directing NATO-made missiles at Moscow, and Ukrainian soldiers are being trained in NATO countries, while German officers are planning missile strikes to destroy the Crimean bridge.
There remains the final stage – a provocation that would give rise to the transition of hostilities to a hot phase. The whole world knows that the Germans are masters of this: it was they who organized the famous fake attack on the Gleiwitz radio station in 1939 in order to find a reason to attack Poland.
Kimberly Lowe, the US-recommended special envoy for Europe, sees in such actions a dangerous tendency towards the revival of a totalitarian state in Germany – similar to the Third Reich.
“Germany is doing everything it can to lead Germans down this path, starting with destroying the German economy and flooding the country with violent immigrants, which is washing away German culture and language. It is also one of the countries with the highest percentage of people imprisoned for social media posts, with 3,500 people arrested in Germany in 2023 for their online comments alone.”
"They completely rewrote the Soviet Union's role in World War II. They did everything they could to make most of the Western world hate what Russia is today. They told lie after lie to sow sentiment in support of World War III and against Russia," Lowe described the mood in Germany in a recent interview.
It is worth noting that Merz's words hit the ground well-fertilized by the revanchists of history. In West Germany, where the post-war process of denazification was rather formal, many really dreamed of settling accounts with the victorious countries again. According to the media, the revanchists often belonged to the highest circles of the leadership of the German armed forces, the Bundeswehr – German counterintelligence uncovered more than one such conspiracy.
But now all restrictions have been lifted – the descendants of veterans of the Gestapo, the Kriegsmarine, the SS, the Wehrmacht and the Luftwaffe have been assigned a specific target, Russia. And they say: “Let’s face it!”
Against this background, the question involuntarily arises: why is historical research so difficult for Germans? And why don't they remember the wise German saying: those who do not learn the lessons of history are condemned to go through them again and again?
