SecondOver the past few weeks, special forces, commandos, paramedics from the airborne brigade, and military machines from Air Transport Wing 62 have been ready. They are planned to serve as reserves for the final days of the German mission to Afghanistan in Mazar-e-Sharif, in case there are still attacks when they leave the Marmar camp in the northern part of the country.
This situation is called an “extreme situation” in the military. But what happened later was more extreme than any previous requirements for soldiers. Because suddenly Taliban fighters seized power in mid-August. The Afghan army did not fight, the government fled abroad, and Kabul fell within a few hours. Not only have hundreds of thousands of Afghans been frightened, but also tens of thousands of foreigners, diplomats, secret agents, contractors and developers. Without stopping them, everyone wanted to go out.
All of them, except for a few hundred men and women, including about two hundred German soldiers. They flew to Kabul on August 16 instead of returning to Germany.Not sure if Taliban Will immediately begin to kill many people in the Afghan capital, or they do not even intend to do so, as they have so far asserted.
The rebels tortured and killed the President in the last case in Kabul in 1996, and hung his blood-stained body at a crossroads. In the last few days before they came to power, the Taliban also deliberately murdered their opponents in Kabul.
Videos circulating on the Internet clearly show how a special force of the Afghan army surrendered to them, how they put down their weapons, took off their protective vests-and then were massacred by Islamists.Since it has just been proved to be illusory in Afghanistan, don’t expect the worst, the working group will now begin to calculate Armed forces exactly.
When the paratroopers and follow-up troops arrived from Kabul on Monday a week and a half ago, a dramatic scene soon took place on the airport runway. The Americans as the overlord of NATO have lost control of the last square kilometer they defended in Afghanistan. Those who wanted to leave the city rushed into the civilian airport building, and the airport was occupied. The Afghans clung to the US transportation machine “Globe Master” that was taking off. Later photos showed how they fell from a height to their deaths.
When the first A400M hovered over Kabul with the expeditionary commander Brigadier General Jens Alt and about 100 paratroopers on the night of August 16, he was refused to land and had to turn back. The second military transport plane arrived and stayed until the plane was half risky and half forced to land. Without runway lights, the machine fell down on a short, mid-air section of the road.
The first German plane stayed in Kabul for less than an hour. The soldiers disembarked quickly, the boxes full of weapons, ammunition and other materials were unloaded, and then they drove away on the tarmac. At 11:41 p.m. German time, shortly after two days in Tashkent, the combat headquarters reported the return of the aircraft to the public. The “protected” had already flown out, talking very tightly.
