Germany is considering reinstating mandatory conscription as threat of World War Three keeps growing.
Russia’s constant threats of conflict have prompted Germany’s top general to warn citizens that mandatory conscription is “absolutely” necessary to ensure they can defend themselves against war.
The German Chief of Defence Carsten Breuer has told Radio 4 they need 100,000 more troops and that conscription in “some form” is needed.
General Breuer told Radio 4, “We won’t get this additional 100,000 soldiers without having one or the other, a model of conscription.

“We don’t have to determine now what model brings them. For me it’s only important that we get the soldiers in.”
Germany’s most senior general said that Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine will not be his last and an attack on NATO is likely by 2030.
He said during his interview, “It’s not about how much time I need, it’s much more about how much time Putin gives us to be prepared. And the sooner we are prepared the better.”
The next German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has announced earlier this month that Berlin will vastly rearm which has not been seen since World War II.
Merz said the German government is set to massively increase their defence spending by hundreds of billions over the coming years.
Zeit newspaper reported, “There are moments in which the history of a country takes an unexpected turn,” and the Chancellor’s plans “may turn out to be one such moment.”
