Germany. The general joked about the woman’s assault. He lost his position
The statement took place in February, but before the general reached the consequences, some time passed. These words fell from Renka’s mouth in English. According to « Der Spiegel », the British officer captured them and reported to his superiors. According to the weekly, the German Ministry of Defense initiated disciplinary proceedings against 62-year-old Renk.
Controversial words of the German general Hartmut Ren
« If rape is inevitable, relax and enjoy it » – that’s what the general was to say. Novinky.Cz informs that the military admitted that he actually gave this attention, but he did it for a joke, allegedly to relieve the atmosphere. However, the investigation commission did not accept his explanations and decided that Renk must suffer the consequences. Therefore, she rejected his promotion to a lieutenant general planned for autumn.

The general must also leave his current position of the deputy head of the NATO headquarters in Wiesbaden, who coordinates Western military assistance for Ukraine. The Czech service indicates that it has already been removed from this position on May 1, but is still preparing its successor. It will probably retire in autumn.
Who is the German general who joked with rape?
Hartmut Renk has been a member of the Bundeswehr since 1982. Before starting service in Wiesbaden, he held a number of positions in combat units, the Ministry of Defense and NATO, and also participated in military missions in Afghanistan and Kosovo. His position was high. He is all the more shocking because he could commit such a shocking statement.
Novinky.CZ website reports that the German Ministry of Defense has refused to comment on this matter. His spokeswoman told the British newspaper « The Times » that he could not speak about the personal matters of the army members. She added, however, that regardless of this particular case, there is no place for improper behavior or statements on sexual topics in the Bundeswehra.
