Posters against Veteran: Stralsund activists in adbusing use!

In the Stralsund urban area, current actions of the anti -militaristic action network ensure excitement. Activists have replaced posters from the Bundeswehr who indicate the upcoming veteran day on June 15, with provocative slogans. The slogan "German mix: Nazis cartridges individual cases" and "hanging with Nazi props?" Used on these fake posters, which are emblazoned under a modified Bundeswehr logo with the "Brown Army" lettering. This reports the Ostsee-Zeitung .

It seems that the original posters on May 13 have disappeared from at least four closed advertisers. The police have secured these new posters as evidence and is now investigating in this case. This type of protest, known as "adbusting", is used by the activists to critically draw attention to military issues. This includes not only the over glue of advertising, but also a creative redesign of the messages in public space.

The goal of the action

The veteran day, which was decided by the Bundestag in 2024, is much more than a simple honor of soldiers in the eyes of the activists. The aim of the protests is to expose this day as a "NaziPrepper tag", as reported by the Indymedia . Actions in several cities are planned; For example, advertising showcases in city centers are hugged in order to smuggle their own critical poster.

The anti -militaristic action network sees a serious problem in militarization of society and rejects any form of warfare. In this context, reference is made to anti -fascism in the peace movement. The group has devoted itself to the topic of "open to law" in the peace movement and also plans to be active at events on this topic.

creative forms of protest

A seminar for the creative protest against the military recently took place in Berlin, organized by the Berlin local group of the German Peace Society (DFG/VK). Here, among other things, a banner with the inscription "Bundeswehr to throw up" was attached to a bus stop. Topics such as anti -Semitism and sexism were also treated and the participants were prepared to visualize their protests. One participant even made it clear that the funds for upgrade often expire at the expense of local public transport. These messages are to be made visible in around 60 cities in the run-up to the veteran, the nd current .

The final paroles like "Nazis do not make the farm - no to the veteran day" and "Hero worship is something like that from 1933" show the clear political point of view of the activists. These indicate the historical responsibility of the Bundeswehr and formulate a clear negative attitude against a unreflected hero cult.

The police have weighed up to what extent this form of the protest could possibly fulfill crimes or administrative offenses, but indicates that similar things have often been stopped in the past due to insignificance. The debate about "adbusting" continues and the activists continue to linger in the shade of the events while looking at the upcoming actions on the veteran day.
