A key event, the adoption of a chief of the 2. Company with a pig’s head throwing, right-wing chants and Hitler salutes in April 2017, was internal, and of the political and military leadership at the time, Ursula von der Leyen (CDU) rather than under the influence of alcohol Taste dismissed downplayed. It is the civil investigations of a public Prosecutor’s office was due to that the operation was sanctioned. Within the SFC, in particular, the company met with the investigator at the time on tight agreed statements or Silence. Tauber writes about the Celebration at the end of the company boss, a young woman and later a witness is said to have been handed over for immediate sexual intercourse as a “gift”, there are right-extremist behavior had become “obvious”.

The extremism in the defence should be significantly strengthened, professionalized, and faster. The staff in the MAD, it is checked from now on in turn to all the contacts in the KSK to go. It needs the active support of the democratic order, as well as professional distance from members of the armed forces. Compromises not be “possible”, the Ministry said.
