🇩🇪 Berliner Zeitung reports that men in Germany are now required to obtain official permission to leave the country.
All males aged 17 to 45 must get approval from a Bundeswehr career center if they plan to stay abroad for more than three months, including for study, work, or long-term travel.
The change came into effect largely unnoticed as part of the Military Service Modernization Act.

So we're in East Germany before 1989
I see many unplanned extended trips. The delay caught me by surprise, honest
While the travel restriction for military-age men is real (part of conscription prep), framing it as a blanket 'permission to leave' oversimplifies it. Worth noting Germany's also avoiding direct conflict escalations—just saw this on their Iran stance:

Germany Rules Out Direct Military Involvement Against Iran
Germany refuses direct military action against Iran, focusing on diplomatic solutions amid rising tensions. Stay informed on the evolving crisis.
WW3 again with Germans as always on the wrong side
the most insane part is that being male in Germany hasn’t got anything to do with biology. You can tell the state to change your sex entry in the records without any permission and leave afterwards
Are the citizens their personal slaves, without sovereignty or did they stopped having critical thoughts?
What I mean:
"Why is this happening without the citizens going against it🔍 in masses🤔?"
Jews systematically dismantled independent thought in Europe and Japan, the majority just dont have the courage or energy to fight back. Living extremely comfortable lives for a generation or two does this. When or if they begin to starve then youll see human instinct kick in again
you gave up your firearms
this is what you get

because them citizens got themselves disarmed a loong loong time ago and they established slavery as a lifelong tradition
Good opportunity for a world round trip. By foot.
Compulsory exit permits for draft-aged men is an overlooked but significant shift—feels like soft conscription prep. Meanwhile, Berlin’s avoiding direct action against Iran despite escalating tensions, which raises questions about force allocation priorities.

Indeed, than is probably to late 😵💫😮💨 when they wait until the harshness is too extreem it cost them more time to get out of it😶
😬😬😬
(I think they feel defeated, that's not a good mindset or position, only being proactive as a society they can come out of this bad situation, maybe it's time they move..)

See, Germany realised very early that a person's personality is created in the first ~25 years of their life. Hence the Nazi's made Kindergarden, School, military service mandatory. By the age the average kid leaves the service they government has created a strong working bee unlikely to every resist the state.
Pretty much
What happened to we're all equal and why can we not train the 300,000 Ukrainian men living in this country? I'm sure they'll be happy to return to their Motherland to fight for their freedom once we give them some training.
"The requirement for approval is part of a larger reform package. The German government intends to increase the troop strength of the Bundeswehr (German Armed Forces) from its current level of approximately 184,000 to between 255,000 and 270,000 soldiers by 2035. To this end, all young people born in 2008 or later will receive a questionnaire that, among other things, asks about their willingness to perform military service. Completion is mandatory for men and voluntary for women, as the Basic Law (German Constitution) stipulates conscription only for men."

Well, this just triggered me that something is happening again...

Compared to that, the military monitoring during the Cold War was basically a joke. Back then, you could leave the country without permission — unless you lived in East Germany. Guys, if you still haven’t heard the warning shots by now, I can’t help you.
