Germany to invest in everyday shelters, shifting from Cold War bunkers

BERLIN: Germany’s government approved ‌a new Civil Defense Plan on Wednesday, shifting from Cold War bunkers to everyday sites such as underground parking garages, tunnels and subway stations. Debate over civil defense has intensified in Europe since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, and Germany has sharply increased military spending since then. The plan is part-funded from a special fund exempt from ‌debt rules that was ‌approved last year, the ‌Interior ⁠Ministry said.
