A recent study by the Bundeswehr Center reveals that only 0.4% of German soldiers express consistent right-wing extremist attitudes, much lower than the general population's 5.4%. However, 6.4% of soldiers exhibit consistent chauvinist views and 3.5% have consistent xenophobic attitudes. While the results are viewed positively given past extremist incidents, concerns remain due to ongoing investigations into radical activities within the military, including over 1,000 cases, primarily related to right-wing extremism, indicating a critical area for continued monitoring and intervention.
