as posted by the channel

German industrial companies, from carmakers to machine builders, are pivoting into defense. Germany now already has more production capacity for conventional ammunition than the United States. Will this help the sector, which has been struggling for years? DW's The Dip speaks to one CEO, Sebastian Schulte, who's moving his business in exactly that direction, and Jerry McGinn of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, who specializes in defense and industry. #DWdip #DWbusiness
