Expatica's German news in English: SPD uses dead US soldiers on election posters



With the German election heating up the mud is slinging.

With election day only few days off the political climate in Germany is starting to get tense.


Check out this link to an article on Expatica discussing Schroeder's party the SPD (Social Democratic Party) use of dead US soldiers underscoreing his opposition to the Iraq War and poking at his conservative opponent Merkel who could be not only a female chancellor but also one born in former DDR. Intresting stuff if forign politics are your cup of tea.

I will be posting some back entries including other election posters and some of the debate highlights that between Schroeder and Merkel while we were stillin Munich.
