Nearly 60 Percent of Germans Would Not Fight If Country Attacked

Nearly 60% of Germans would likely not take up arms to defend their country if attacked, according to a new survey conducted for German broadcaster RND. Only 16% said they would “definitely” fight, and 22% said they “probably” would. The findings present a serious challenge to Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, who is spearheading efforts to rearm Germany and expand the Bundeswehr.
