At midnight on October 2, 1990, the West German armed forces took
over the approximately 90,000 men comprising the National People's
(East German) Army (NVA) and assumed control of its substantial
arsenal. This study is an analysis of that unification from its
beginning in July 1990 to the end of summer of 1993 when all
applications for future service of former NVA officers and
non-commissioned officers had been processed. Using numerous
un-published sources and interviews, the author addresses the
following areas: the organization used by the Bundeswehr and the
political control exerted in the Takeover, the key decisions
reached and the explanation of these decisions, the relationship of
the Takeover to the new Army Structure 5 being implemented at the
time, and the effect of the Takeover on the Bundeswehr's
operational readiness, especially its ability to perform its "new
tasks" identified in the spring 1991. The first scholarly study of
the Takeover, this study focuses on 11 key decisions, made not only
for military reasons, but also for political, economic, social, and
psychological purposes. Overall, the Takeover was a success in
light of the numerous goals it achieved while avoiding the outbreak
of violence. The Bundeswehr achieved this success mainly because it
relied on liberal democratic principles, including those comprising
the unique German concept of Innere Fuhrung (civic education and
moral leadership). This book also provides an overall evaluation of
the Takeover and contributes to theory-building on army
amalgamations.
