Unknown assailants stole thousands of rounds of ammunition from a delivery truck destined for a Bundeswehr barracks in the town of Burg in Saxony-Anhalt, German media reported on Tuesday.
The theft took place on Tuesday, November 25, the Defense Ministry confirmed to public broadcaster MDR and weekly magazine Der Spiegel.
I wonder what the military police was doing. When I was a conscript we had to accompany weapons and ammunition transports, even civil trucks. When the driver had breaks, we still needed to be around the truck.
I wonder whether that changed or if they were involved somehow in the “mishap”.
I bet secutity got ptivatised because that’s “more efficient”.
The requirement for two drivers mentioned in the article hints at that.
In short: What is the military police doing for a living?
