This connection becomes particularly clear on the occasion of Bundeswehr Day, where soldiers and civilian employees present a wide range of their work and military technology. This year, branches of the armed forces such as the army, air force and navy were ready to give visitors insights into their diverse tasks.
A program full of highlights
