This study traces the role of East Germany's military (NVA) in the country's unification with West Germany. Utilizing interviews with NVA officers, Herspring aims to unravel the puzzle of the NVA's decision against using force to save the political system it was sworn to serve.
Most Western models suggest that in the face of open threats to the military''s core interests, the army would have fought to keep the status quo. Yet the military actually facilitated the introduction of a new democratic polity and in the process dug its own grave. Trained under a Russian-inspired system that minimized the role of the individual, this group was suddenly exposed to the radically different ''Innere Fuehrung'' concept that lies at the heart of the Bundeswehr''s ethos.
