Tanks Not Cars: How Germany’s Defence Industry Could Boost the Economy
German defence companies are exploring the ailing car industry to increase capacity amid rising military spending in Europe, potentially reviving the continent's biggest economy. The shift could be driven by European leaders' agreement to mobilise up to 800 billion euros for rearmament and Germany's desire to boost its economic growth. A pivot towards defence production may also give a boost to the country's GDP.

- Will this renewed emphasis on defence spending and industrial cooperation lead to greater European integration and a more cohesive approach to global security?
