- Security circles are reportedly modeling a potential trigger from 2029 tied to a conflict on NATO’s eastern flank.
- Planners assume up to 1,000 wounded soldiers per day in a major conflict, with about 10% to be treated in Berlin, according to the report.
- Reception points at Hauptbahnhof, Südkreuz and BER would route casualties to clinics via ambulances and converted BVG buses under the draft plan.
