Summary
In accordance with the primacy of politics, the armed forces are subordinate to the civil government and legitimated by parliament on the basis of a national security concept. Deficiencies in these safeguards can cause fatal involvements in wars such as the German Empire's in World War One, the Third Reich's in World War Two and even the out-of-area operations of the German armed forces. With a summary in English.
