SASSNITZ, Germany €” Israeli fighter jets on Monday landed in Germany for the first time, in a display of the two countries strong ties more than 75 years after the end of the Nazi Holocaust and as the German military is struggling with signs of rising far-right sentiment in its ranks.
Before the military maneuvers begin, a delegation will visit the memorial at the Dachau concentration camp to lay a wreath in honor of Holocaust victims and the hundreds of thousands of others who died at the hands of Nazi violence. A joint formation will also fly over the Fürstenfeldbruck air base near Munich in honor of the 11 Israeli athletes who were held hostage and killed by Palestinian terrorists at the 1972 Olympics.

Facing both equipment and personnel issues, the countrys military has in recent years even reportedly considered recruiting citizens of other European Union countries to make up for a shortage of skilled labor.

The latest joint exercises with the Israelis will involve various flying maneuvers near Germanys border with Denmark, including midair refueling and mock air battles. Next week, they will be expanded to include Hungarian planes as part of regular NATO training exercises, the German air force said.

But the big question is did they cook together?? Pretty sure no pork of
any sort was consumed. Maybe it was hamburgers they enjoyed. Check it out
and get back to us on this important topic.

Strudel and tea after a day of cooperation.
