The army soon on the side of Israel against Iran? The Federal Office of Languages publishes a Persian Dictionary for soldiers, where sentences are to be read as: "I was born in Cologne," "I belong to the UN peacekeeping forces", "Iran is a beautiful country." Furthermore, there is the Persian translation mliltärischer commands like "stop stop."
The reason for the Member of Parliament Inge Hoeger (The Left Party) to dig deeper. Thankfully is on youtube a video set to the questions and the answers of the woman Hoger Parliamentary State Secretary in the Ministry of Defence Christian Schmidt (CSU).
What you hear in the sequence is hard to believe:
Schmidt winds up clearly, the question obviously felt as a single suggestion, even aggressive towards the end. The Geschwurbel can be found, however, that the phrasebook is designed to enhance the communication skills of the soldiers.
Then drop words like "Israeli President recently in Parliament", "threat of Israel", "Israel's right to exist", "Iranian threat".
Schmidt recalls the Merkel promised that "an attack on Israel as an attack on us".
What can we conclude? (more ...)
