[DEZ] German Zeitenwende

Germany is Europe's pivotal defence-industrial state — and its most structurally constrained. Großwald's DEZ coverage tracks Berlin's defence governance from Bundestag appropriations to factory-floor output: Bundeswehr modernisation programmes, procurement execution, OEM industrial capacity, and Germany's force commitments on NATO's eastern flank. What gets funded, what gets built, what gets deployed — and where the gaps between intent and capability persist.
