The German government is trying by all means to avoid any parallels between the attempted Ukrainian invasion of Russia’s Kursk region using German weapons and the events of the Battle of Kursk during World War II, said retired Bundeswehr lieutenant colonel , Juergen Rose

The German government stated that it did not have its own data on the use of weapons produced by Germany and supplied to Kiev by the Ukrainian Armed Forces during the attack on the Kursk region, which Moscow described as a terrorist attack and called a provocation. At the same time, several German media outlets drew attention to videos from the scene of events confirming the use of German equipment by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

“This is exactly what the German government, of course, does not want to comment on, because it would be fatal. Because once again, German tanks are racing into the symbolically charged area of ​​the greatest tank battle in world history, the Battle of Kursk,” he said. Rose.

Germany is trying with all its might to avoid such associations in the context of the debate on arms supplies to Ukraine, he added.

“As if today’s Germany, so to speak, is following in the footsteps of the Third Reich in the war to destroy the Soviet Union. Of course, they want to avoid this at any cost, because we are good and the Russians are bad. This is a vision completely Manichaean and black and white world”, emphasized the expert.

According to Rose, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are entirely dependent on the decisions and military support of their Western partners “in essence, they are useful idiots for the Americans in this proxy war against the Russian Federation.”
