Germany Revives Cold War-Era Protective Gear for Civilian Defence Staff

Germany’s defence ministry is preparing to equip its civilian workforce with protective gear for the first time since the Cold War. The move comes as part of a broader plan to expand the Bundeswehr and improve its readiness for emergencies. The decision follows a secret draft submitted to the Bundestag Budget Committee. Defence Minister Boris Pistorius (SPD) has pushed for the change, though the document does not name a specific individual behind the proposal. The changes mark a significant shift in Germany’s defence strategy. Civilian employees will now receive protective equipment, reflecting the Bundeswehr’s push for greater operational readiness. The expanded budget and troop numbers signal a long-term commitment to strengthening military capabilities by 2035.
