Since the proposal to create a memorial for the Bundeswehr dead, a debate has taken place in the German media, although it has been rather less boisterous and prolonged than earlier discussions about other historical-political themes such as the Wehrmacht discussion or the years of debate about the Holocaust memorial. Some of the materials form this debate have now been collected and made available online at www.zeitgeschichte-online.de.

The next issue of the Bundeswehr Journal will be devoted to this topic as well.
