Description

Since the founding of the Bundeswehr in 1955, over 3,300 soldiers have died in service. But pledges to commemorate them publicly went unheard. It was not until 2009 that the Bundeswehr dedicated the central memorial in Berlin. But why were the dead refused remembrance for so long? Julia Katharina Nordmann finds answers that range from the Wehrmacht’s commemoration of the dead to the image of the soldier in the post-heroic society.
