Overview
- The Brandenburg CDU deputy caucus leader briefly shared an Instagram Story, reported Thursday, that showed restored Wehrmacht motorcycles and people in Wehrmacht-style uniforms.
- The video was deleted soon after it appeared, and party leaders said such content and its spread were unacceptable.
- Bommert told the dpa on Friday that he tapped “Story” by mistake, argued the post was legal, and said he is not a militarist.
- CDU caucus chief Steeven Bretz ordered an internal review and said he will address the matter directly with Bommert.
- Local CDU figures called for his removal from offices or expulsion, signaling pressure for tougher action than public reproach alone.
