She pointed out that far-right extremists are claiming that they call on the military virtues of the National Socialists.
"The only types of examples that we can take from the times of the National Socialists are the efforts of those who tried to bring about change.
Karrenbauer was speaking today at the 76th anniversary of the July 20 plot to assassinate Hitler.
The plot was planned and executed by Colonel Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg.
Saufenberg's grandson Philipp von Schulthess said at the commemoration at Berlin's Bendlerblock: "July 20 was a day of freedom. And that's still the case, even if the attempt failed."
The Bendler Block refers to a historic building complex located near the Tiergarten park along the southern edge of what was once the diplomatic quarter of Berlin. Until 1945, the buildings were used by the military.
Stauffenberg was executed on July 21, 1944 by a firing squad in the courtyard of the Bendlerblock.

I don't think that this action has anything to do with an increase in quality or a more humane army on the front lines wherever the Budeswehr is active nowadays.
Since most of the government overthrows are carried out by the army, I would say that this is to be prevented in wise foresight through ideological clearing up.
By the way, I just read from another blogger that he was told by a Bundeswehr source that there will be a holiday freeze from September on and that they expect a second wave starting in (end of) October (***speculative***).
