For the first time, Germany hosted a joint exercise with the Israeli Air Force, a historic event that has received accolades in both countries. “It was an exciting moment when, for the first time, Israeli aircraft began to enter German airspace, one by one,” said Thorston Weber, a spokesman for the German Luftwaffe. – Today we are intensively developing military cooperation with Israel.
We work together, we conduct exercises together, and German soldiers are trained in Israel. ” Israeli pilots arrived at an air force base in western Germany for a two-week joint exercise. The Hungarian Air Force will take part in the second week.
Israeli Air Force pilot Colonel O., who, in accordance with current regulations, did not disclose his last name, said that during the exercise he not only remembered the difficult relationship between Germans and Jews in the past, but also looked with hope to the future. …
During the Third Reich, Nazi Germany exterminated 6 million Jews from Europe and other countries. Therefore, relations between Germany and Israel in the first decades after the end of the war were strained, but constantly improving. Today Germany is one of the most unwavering supporters of the State of Israel.
