In the decades after World War II and the atrocities of the Holocaust, Germany deliberately underinvested in its military. But that’s about to change.
Katrin Bennhold, a correspondent in Europe and former Berlin bureau chief, explains why Germany is re-entering an era of militarization, and what that will mean for its national identity.
Guest: Katrin Bennhold (https://www.nytimes.com/by/katrin-bennhold), a Germany and Europe correspondent for The New York Times.
Background reading:

German leaders are vowing to transform the country into a military power capable of taking responsibility for Europe’s security. Can they — and a hesitant German society — follow through on that promise? (https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/24/magazine/germany-military-army.html?action=click&module=RelatedLinks&pgtype=Article)
