PSA for U.S. soldiers stationed in Germany

In case Shit Hits The Fan

Just in case you don't want to shoot your NATO allies, consider calling

0800 / 190 - 9999

(toll-free within Germany from German landlines, mobile phones and public [pay]phone [booths])

ONLY when shit hits the fan [Abuse is a felony - like all emergency numbers, calls get traced!] and request further instructions on how to turn yourself in at the Feldjäger.

  • This ain't the USA: these MPs (like the average police officer in Germany) will be calm and friendly if you are…
  • I'm confident they appreciate cooperation and transfer cooperating withnesses to MILCOINTEL if they're willing to talk.

#NotLegalAdvice but I'd certainly advise against doing some stupid shit IF Trump decides to start yet another war in Greenland to distract from the Epstein Files and his Civil War he's pushing for.

Do what's right, morally first!

  • Write down that number just in case of said "Situation"
  • Anonymously share said info if you can without risking to be deanonymized yourself; don't trust anyone!
  • Expect paranoia in US MIL/INTEL circles.
  • Don't talk about your plans or that you'd even consider such a step!
