Officer Selection in the Federal Armed Forces of Germany

Abstract

After the end of World War II, Germany did not have any armed forces of its own for a period of ten years. Military officer selection, for the most part, still takes place according to principles that were introduced 1955, which had the objective of preventing as much as possible, any misuse of the armed forces. Only the careers of specialist officers, which were introduced much later, are governed by other rules.
