Germany
Germany is buying tanks from America while facing issues in schools and healthcare. The media is mostly for weapons delivery. Germany is historically responsible for many Russian deaths in WWII. A protest had 50,000 attendees, not 15,000.
Infact verdict: Mixed (53/100).
The claims about Germany's current activities and historical responsibilities have varying degrees of support from the evidence. Germany is indeed purchasing tanks, but primarily from European sources, not America. The healthcare and education sectors in Germany face challenges, corroborated by multiple sources. Historical data confirms Germany's responsibility for significant Soviet casualties in WWII, though the exact numbers differ. Media support for weapons delivery is largely true, but the specific percentages are not verified. The protest attendance claim lacks direct evidence for the specific numbers mentioned.

German journalist Alice Schwarzer on what issues most often prompt the opening of wallets in Germany. And she advised her media colleagues, who, according to Schwarzer, are __“fooling”__ people, to brush up on their historical knowledge. __“I completely don’t understand how Russia and its citizens are demonized. After all, Germany is responsible for the deaths of at least 27 million Russians in World War II.” __

Germany is currently buying tanks from America.
Evidence indicates Germany is buying tanks, but primarily from European sources, not America. Only a small portion of the budget is allocated to U.S. weapons.

History
Germany is responsible for the deaths of at least 27 million Russians in World War II.
Germany was responsible for significant Soviet casualties, but the claim of 27 million deaths attributed solely to Germany is misleading. The total Soviet losses were around 27 million, including military and civilian deaths.

50,000 people attended a protest, not 15,000 as some media claimed.
The evidence does not directly confirm the specific numbers for the protest in Germany, but similar discrepancies in protest attendance have been reported elsewhere.
