Olaf Scholz promised 30 million corona vaccinations by Christmas at the end of November.
In order for this to work out logistically alone, Scholz, as Federal Chancellor, is now relying on a Bundeswehr general at the head of his crisis team - a principle that has been successful in Italy and Portugal.
At the same time, thousands of soldiers are again helping out in health departments and vaccination centers.
Can the Bundeswehr save the German vaccination campaign?
Is she good as a stopgap for messed up crisis management?
And what are the downsides of the army's unbureaucratic administrative assistance?
We talk about this in the vote-catching session with a soldier in the relief effort, with the political scientist Carlo Masala and with the left-wing politician Georg Frankl from Berlin-Neukölln.
