I would like to share a few thoughts with you on the occasion of the presentation of the Naval Officers' Association's Best Training Award for the best training course for military officer at the Mürwik Naval Academy on 18 March 2022. The award is linked to important ideas of Admiral Johannesson, one of the founding fathers of our present-day navy, regarding the training of officers. These include the consistent implementation of the principle of inner leadership and, as a lesson from Admiral Johannesson's personal life story, the critical examination of his own history that he demanded. Johannesson's ideas still guide us today. Since its establishment in 1955, our organisation has...

Dear members of the Naval Officers' Association Once again, we in Europe and the free world are at a turning point. Until Russia's invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, most people in Germany did not believe that a large-scale war of aggression against another country in Europe was still conceivable after the experience of two world wars. We were lulled into a false sense of security that economic integration and constant dialogue could contain the Russian president's lust for power. We have acted according to the motto: What must not be, cannot be. We were thoroughly mistaken. We had to realise that our Western...
