Ursula von der Leyen's army so under-equipped it used broomsticks instead of guns
URSULA VON DER LEYEN's German army was so under-equipped during her time as defence minister it had to use broomsticks instead of machine guns.

The German army has faced a shortage of equipment for years, but the situation became so precarious in 2014 that some soldiers had to take matters into their own hands.

Bundeswehr troops tried to hide their lack of arms by replacing heavy machine guns with broomsticks during a NATO exercise.

After painting the wooden sticks black, the German soldiers attached them to the top of armoured vehicles, according to a confidential army report which was leaked to German broadcaster ARD.

A defence ministry spokesperson said the use of broomsticks was not a common practice, and that the decision of the involved soldiers was "hard to comprehend”.
