Publication date: 2026-04-03
Frank Bommert, the deputy faction leader of the CDU in the Brandenburg state parliament, has recently caused a stir by sharing a video on Instagram that features motorcycles from the Wehrmacht. This action has led to public outrage and discussion, especially given the historical connotations associated with the Wehrmacht.

Bommert himself referred to the sharing of the video as an 'accident' and stated that he did not intend to hurt anyone's feelings or diminish the memory of the atrocities of the Nazi era. Nonetheless, he is facing criticism from political opponents and parts of the public who believe that such content should not be shared thoughtlessly. The CDU is now challenged to clarify the situation and maintain the party's reputation in Brandenburg.
