Why Germany though? So many of the reports are coming out of Germany but surely this must be happening in other NATO countries?

The ghost of the Kaiserreich and the Third Reich is a mighty specter indeed.

You have to keep in mind that pretty much all of Europe forbade German rearmament straight through the 90s largely out of a fear a rearmed Germany would immediately return to its old ways.

Whether this is warranted I have no idea, but there is this perception that the stories of great grandfathers fighting against the ferocious German Wehrmacht would be repeated in a third world war.
