Bundeswehr – Dark Nights

Germany: Arson Attack on Seven Army Vehicles

Posted on 2025/03/14 by darknights

Never fit for war! Fire to Bundeswehr [German armed forces] fleet

In the course of the Bundestag [German federal parliament] elections, almost all parties outdid each other in increasing arms spending, (re)establishing German military capability, demanding even more arms exports, and obliging young people to serve in the military. The FRG [Federal Republic of Germany] has long since returned to the game of the arms race and mobilization. But wars don’t just need weapons and infrastructure, it needs soldiers, but above all a society that is willing to follow, that is ready to murder and that is ready to blindly and jubilantly accomplish all the atrocities of the world.

Never fit for war!
Not today
Not 2029
Never again
Resist the beginnings…

We are in a crisis in which the next world war does not seem far away. If this war continues to escalate, it will devastate our planet. While the US has withdrawn from the war of aggression in Ukraine, the “united Europe” stands together and openly discusses a real nuclear deterrent against Russia. Every day, events come thick and fast without us finding an answer that does justice to what is happening in this world.

This is not our war – we want a future.
What war is actually being prepared for here? And who benefits from the war?

The wars and conflicts of this world revolve in a significant proportion around energy distribution struggles, access to resources, economic interests and ultimately power. It is not a struggle for democracy, justice or values, even if this is the narrative of the rulers. The majority of people suffer from these wars, while the rich and powerful line their pockets. Western imperialism is trying to maintain its supremacy, while other imperialist forces such as Russia and China want to claim it for themselves. The capitalist system reacts to the current crisis, as so often in history, with destruction and aggression. And the different warring parties never act according to the interests of the people who are directly affected by them. War is always a war of capitalist powers, in which the people of all countries can only lose. Their suffering is portrayed as an inevitable fate and enmity among each other is fueled with nationalism.

We defend our revolutionary position on the question of war and fight for a friendship of all people and peoples!

What is happening in Germany is not preparation for the defense of possible attacks or the establishment of a so-called defensive capability. To become fit for war means to prepare to wage war. What Pistorius and Merz are preparing German society for, also with regard to a global shift in power and a new strengthening of wars to secure energy reserves, zones of power and sales markets, are wars of aggression in other countries with high German participation. To this end, soldiers are to be sent to schools, the civil clause is to be lifted and the infrastructure and health system are to be prepared for the event of war.

Here in the country, rents are rising, the social system is being undermined more and more and at the same time hundreds of billions of euros are to be made available for armaments. And there is no end in sight: In order to meet the 2 percent of GDP demanded by NATO, the special fund is only a milestone, and the debate about further increases has been going on for a long time.

What is happening here is warmongering. Where is the outcry?
A further intensification of a global war is being prepared here in Germany, so we must sabotage the centers of the warmongers.

Out of a clear mind, seven Bundeswehr vehicles were set on fire in the parking lot of a MAN workshop on the night of March 7, because we only like war equipment on fire.

No to rearmament! No to arms exports! No to conscription!
For the peace of the peoples!

Hamburg, Germany: You Are The Crisis! DHL Fleet Torched

Posted on 2023/05/17 - 2023/05/17 by darknights

The face of the exploitative system is sometimes only visible in this world by looking behind the numerous corporate logos that flash back and forth before our eyes every day, spitting at us from illuminated billboards or pestering us penetratingly from the Internet.

The companies behind names like Amazon, Tesla, Vattenfall, Deutsche Bahn, Thyssen-Krupp, Telekom, DHL, etc., leave much more visible traces in other areas of the world. Destruction of nature and war have turned this earth into a battlefield and the people and animals who live on it into mentally and physically unwell beings.

The analyses that try to capture what has led to the current misery here since the beginning of the industrial age are neither abstract nor far-fetched. They clearly name the capitalist actors as the culprits and the patriarchal system they adhere to as the root cause. Only complete idiots still believe that reformist policies and green capitalism can be acceptable ways out of the crisis.

For us, it will never be enough to mark our cross at the next election or to consume or do without in one way or another. Another world can only become possible with diverse means. That is why on the night of May 11 we attacked with fire a fleet of trucks of the company DHL. Several vans and box trucks were thus given over to the flames.

With an armada of trucks, vans and a large squadron of airplanes, DHL is an enormous, CO2-emitting polluter that exemplifies the destructive lifestyle of the industrial system. Even the greenwashing campaign that this corporation runs can only fool the most naive. Let’s destroy as much as we can to slow down the destruction of the planet.

Kassel, Germany: Incendiary attack of the car park of the German army

Posted on 2022/09/25 - 2022/09/25 by darknights

de.indymedia, August 17, 2022

On the night of Thursday to Friday of last week, two vehicles were completely burned in the district of Bad Willhelmshöhe in Kassel (Hessen region). The two cars that were completely destroyed by fire were two civilian vehicles belonging to the German army fleet, parked near the Bundeswehr technical school. The cops say the damage was in the mid-five figures. A small drop in the bucket compared to the huge sums currently being spent on rearmament.

Since all NATO member countries are required to spend at least 2% of their GDP on war preparations, spending on military and armaments products is skyrocketing in Europe. Since then, the German army has been subtly presented to us as an “antiquated troop, reduced to a pitiful size by cost-cutting” and “not fit for combat”. The aim is to convince the public that the huge investments in the military-industrial complex are justified and serve the security of Europe. When at the beginning of this year the war in Ukraine escalated again and the Russian ruling class sent its army to finish annexing the territories in the east of Ukraine that have been disputed for years, the calls for the necessary rearmament of Europe finally found complacent ears.

In a fast-track parliamentary procedure, 100 billion euros of “special budget” were made available to the German army, in addition to arms spending that had already risen to 56 billion dollars by 2021. German arms companies, whose war material will now be massively sold to the Ukraine and produced for NATO armies, are rubbing their bloodstained hands and can say with a clear conscience: this time we are on the right side. Buoyed by this mood, Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperger, who normally avoids publicity as is appropriate in this industry, is no longer missing an opportunity to promote his group, whose share price has doubled since the start of the war in Ukraine. The fact that the German arms industry is only interested in profits and has no morals is evident in the arms trade with the fascist Erdogan regime in Turkey or with Saudi Arabia, whose army helped to crush the Arab Spring protests in Bahrain in 2011. The big German arms groups have also sold their war machines to Russia, although after the annexation of Crimea an arms embargo was decreed by the EU. In order to do this, the arms dealers used, as is also usual in this sector, a legal loophole to circumvent the embargo.

Bremen, Germany: Militarism stinks! Butyric acid for Rheinmetall, Bundeswehr and customs

Posted on 2022/04/12 - 2022/04/12 by darknights

On 4.4.22 we distributed butyric acid in the entrance area of Rheinmetall at Osterdeich 108 in Bremen. A week before on 28.3.22 we banged up the main customs office with stones and poured butyric acid into the offices. The attack was aimed at the Bundeswehr advisory center in the building.

The cops report broken windows at the main customs office but say nothing about the butyric acid. The smell was beastly, so we think that they deliberately conceal what was used. So it is not so serious that shortly before the attack the security guard left the premises and was not able to fulfill his mission. At the beginning of last year, autonomous groups summed up the function of customs in the capitalist merry-go-round: https://chronik.blackblogs.org/?p=141

The attack on the Bundeswehr is our contribution to practical antimilitarism. Now that the current war crimes are committed by the enemy, the Russian military, the Bundeswehr imagines itself to be on the morally clean side. Bullshit! The German military is neither progressive nor sustainable, it is the grimace of the German past and the door to fascism. Like any military, it is based on command and obedience. It trains to kill for German capital. Even the reintroduction of military service is on everyone’s lips and is being discussed by parliamentarians. For whom should the youth fight? For people and fatherland? For cheap fuel and safe trade routes? We are already calling for desertion and will attack the military wherever possible.

The personnel office of the arms company Rheinmetall at Osterdeich 108 was recently pelted with paint, after which an anti-militarist demonstration marched in front of the door. The owner has announced to look for new tenants, hoping that the stress will stop. That’s exactly why we have followed up before the staff management disappears behind high fences in safer buildings. Perhaps landlords will also think twice in the future about which companies they rent premises to. The arms industry profits the most from the current war, the industry is booming. The arms business is a key driver of every war. Corporations like Rheinmetall must now be attacked by all means.

For the sabotage of the military and the arms industry!

For an active decomposition of military forces!

Bremen, Germany: A supplement to burning offices and crying bigwigs

Posted on 2022/03/31 - 2022/03/31 by darknights

The tanks are rolling through Europe and the war has been dominating the headlines for weeks. But we have not woken up in a new world, as the press and politicians have been trying to make us believe since the war in Ukraine. The current war is the direct result of a militarized world. It is the same dirty racist and murderous system that we attacked on New Year’s Eve. It is the same capitalist system that divides people into groups and rules over them. The very system in which some get and stay rich with arms exports. It is the same Nato that has been waging war for years and that acts in the same militaristic logic as the authoritarian pig Putin. No, the only thing “new” about the situation is that the warlike misery has moved closer to Europe.

At the turn of the year, we set fire to a company building of OHB in Bremen. The fire unfolded in an exemplary manner and destroyed an entire building. According to OHB, the jobs of 330 employees were rendered unusable for the time being. The damage, worth millions, still delights us every day. What followed in January and February was the purest propaganda show by cops and politicians.

We learned from the media that a security guard was allegedly in an anteroom of the attacked building. According to our observations, no one was in the completely darkened building at the time of the attack. We did not want to wantonly put anyone in danger. The attack was of course not aimed at this presumably precariously employed person who has to work in a multi-million dollar corporation on New Year’s Eve. We wanted to harm the arms company OHB and sabotage its war-mongering work.

That the attack was right is shown not only by the reaction of the cops and the press. Wow, what a wave! Directly the day after, the Senator for Economy, Labor and Europe from the party Die Linke has herself photographed at the scene, backs OHB and denies that OHB is an arms company that cooperates with Frontex. Politics and the arms industry in common interest for Bremen as a business location. A disgusting melange! Continue reading “Bremen, Germany: A supplement to burning offices and crying bigwigs” →

Nuremberg, Germany: DB Schenker truck torched

Posted on 2021/10/22 by darknights

We torched a truck of DB Schenker in front of the Nuremberg jail in the night from 15. to 16.10.2021. The company DB Schenker earns its money among other things with the logistics for NATO forces and is responsible for armament transports to the Turkish army:

“DB Schenker, a subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn, manages a large central warehouse for the German armed forces in Kassel-Kaufungen together with its partner company ESG Elektroniksystem- und Logistik-GmbH. The Central Federal Warehouse – ZEBEL for short – has a total area of around 17,000 square meters. This hub supplies civilian companies and military maintenance facilities that repair defense systems and vehicles for the Bundeswehr. DB Schenker gives top priority to the transport of war materials. Deutsche Bahn is thus the leading logistics partner for NATO and responsible for transporting war supplies to German troops and their partner, the fascist Turkish regime. Deutsche Bahn thus profits directly from the war against the Kurdish civilian population and the fight against the YPG / YPJ People’s Defense Units.”

(Quote from people who set fire to four DB vans in Rostock).

In addition, we wanted to vent our anger about the detentions and sentences of our comrades. A short time later, there were more fires in the city.
