    including among the immigrant working class.

    Really?? That doesn’t seem possible, since people tend not to vote for candidates that openly hate them. Do you have a source?

    Soldiers in Germany tend to vote CDU. The last couple of years the head of the Bundestag’s defense commission Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann from the FDP was super popular. In the past SPD was also really strong. These two polls on the Bundeswehr subreddit have FDP and CDU together with a supermajority.

    That makes sense. CDU is (by German standards) strong on defence, even I know that.

    Now that’s of course not representative, but gives you an idea that the military doesn’t vote far right.

    I was reminded of the scandals relating to Wehrmacht idolisation, but I have no idea how how widespread a problem that is, so I’ll defer to you.
