Troops recalled from Lithuania over incident Germany military spokesperson says ‘brings shame on us all’.
Some 30 German soldiers are being recalled from service in Lithuania, with ringleaders facing immediate dismissal, after they were accused of making racist and anti-Semitic remarks and of sexual violence, a German military spokesperson said. The soldiers were in Lithuania as part of NATO’s Enhanced Forward Presence mission providing protection to Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia by deterring Russia. Der Spiegel earlier reported that some German soldiers had got so drunk in a hotel that military police had to be called.More Related News
