I think that’s soap?

You need to in German because Umlaute are not accents but different characters.

Germany suspended compulsory military service about two decades ago but the laws are still in the books.
Now they want to increase troop count again, for now by hoping for more volunteers, but reinstating conscription is likely if the numbers don’t meet expectations.

This law one isn’t actually new either but afaik it used to only apply during a “case of defense” (ie war) or a “case of tension”. As I understand, that prerequisite has been removed.
