The military is using obstacle courses, combat demonstrations and raffles to reach young attendees as Germany seeks tens of thousands of new volunteers.
- Germany hopes to grow its armed forces, the Bundeswehr, winning tens of thousands of new volunteers- a tough task given many young people view military service with skepticism.
- To find new recruits, the Bundeswehr relies on persuasion, attending events like FIBO, the world's largest fitness expo in Cologne, with obstacle courses and combat demonstrations.
