Bundeswehr Big Band to play at SPD event, raising political neutrality concerns

The Bundeswehr Big Band is scheduled to perform at an event of the Seeheimer Kreis, a conservative SPD faction, despite regulations prohibiting military music at party political events. The appearance, linked to Defense Minister Pistorius, raises questions about adherence to political neutrality norms. The event's organizers have not yet clarified the rationale, and the Bundeswehr has not commented.
