  • SPD state leader Steffen Krach said individual schools would decide, while Bundeswehr visits would remain possible.

  • Twelve German states have agreements; in 2026, youth officers have so far made 4,000 school visits reaching 137,600 students.
  • Ending the cooperation agreement in Berlin would be a signal against the Bundeswehr and its important mission. This signal must not come from Berlin.

  • Pistorius called the plan completely incomprehensible because the agreement had only been concluded in June.

  • According to Pistorius, the plan would probably not end youth officers, but make individual schools reassess invitations.

  • Given the heightened threat environment, Pistorius said the Bundeswehr needed unequivocal political support, including at state level.
