Germany far right: Intelligence chief forced out amid criticism
The head of Germany's military intelligence agency is to be replaced as the government seeks to ramp up its efforts to combat the far right.
Christof Gramm had begun reforms to tackle links between the far right and the army, but the defence ministry said "additional efforts" were now required.
He has faced calls to take firmer action during his tenure.
In January, military intelligence said there were hundreds of suspected far-right supporters in the army last year.
They said the KSK (Special Forces Command) was seen as a particular problem, with 20 members of the elite force suspected of right-wing extremism.
Mr Gramm, who has led the military counterintelligence agency (MAD) since 2015, is not suspected of having far-right links himself.
He has been leading reforms and efforts to combat the problem, which included working to identify extremist tendencies in soldiers and uncovering possible far-right networks.
But the MAD has come under fire in recent times for not doing enough to tackle extremism in the Bundeswehr [German army]. A series of high-profile incidents has also raised concerns over the influence of the far right.
In a surprise statement on Thursday, the defence ministry praised Mr Gramm's work thus far but said he would be removed from his role. "He is to be put into temporary retirement," it said.
"Further implementation of the reforms… will require additional effort and momentum," it added. "This new phase should also be made visible in terms of personnel."
His successor has not yet been named.
What's the background?
The German military's problem with far-right supporters emerged in 2017.
Inspections were ordered on all military barracks when Nazi-era memorabilia was found at two of them. Many of those suspected of far-right links are thought to be sympathetic to Germany's main opposition AfD party.
In May, police investigating links between the military and the far right seized weapons and explosives from the home of a special forces soldier. The 45-year-old sergeant major was in the elite KSK.
Defence Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer promised further investigation of possible extremist networks and said it was clear there was no place for anyone in the armed forces who acted "in a radical way".
And just weeks later, she ordered the partial dissolution of the KSK force which had come under growing criticism over right-wing extremism in its ranks.
The KSK had "become partially independent" from the chain of command, with a "toxic leadership culture", Ms Kramp-Karrenbauer told the Süddeutsche Zeitung newspaper at the time.

Germany Disbands Elite Army Unit With 'Toxic Leadership Culture' Amid Far-Right Sympathy Uptick
Germany's defense minister revealed on Wednesday that a unit of the Kommando Spezialkraefte (KSK), the country's elite commando force, would be disbanded. The dissolution follows a report published in January revealing that hundreds of soldiers may embody far-right extremist ideologies.
On Wednesday, Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer told the Süddeutsche Zeitung newspaper that the KSK, an anti-terrorism and hostage rescue unit with roughly 1,300 soldiers, had created "a wall of secrecy" around itself and that the force has a "toxic leadership culture" that "cannot continue to exist in its present form," NPR reported.
Kramp-Karrenbauer also confirmed that some of the 70 soldiers from the disbanded force would be reassigned to other combat companies while "those who made clear they are part of the problem and not part of the solution must leave the KSK," military.com reported.
"We will give the KSK time to press the reset button," she added, although she also noted that "we need the KSK."
"The vast majority of the men and women in the KSK and in the Bundeswehr, or German military, as a whole are loyal to our constitution, with no ifs or buts," she added.
On Wednesday, Gen. Eberhard Zorn, inspector general of the armed forces, also revealed that around 48,000 rounds of ammunition and 62 kilograms worth of explosives had gone missing from the special forces, which had raised additional concern among officials.
Kramp-Karrenbauer's announcement also comes six weeks after investigators found Nazi memorabilia and stolen ammunition and explosives on the property of a KSK seargeant major who had served since 2001.
A January report by Germany's Military Counterintelligence Service revealed that around 500 soldiers in the German military were being investigated for right-far extremism; 20 were linked to the KSK.
"We are currently dealing with around 20 suspected cases of right-wing extremism in the KSK alone while at the beginning of 2019, there were half as many," head of the Military Counterintelligence Service (MAD) Christof Gramm said in January.
In a recent interview with the New York Times, Gramm revealed that elite units can get big heads about their status.
"Elite units such as these have cultural factors that may develop into susceptibilities," Gramm noted. "For example if there is a misguided sense of tolerance."
"The soldiers have an elitist self-confidence. They have special capabilities and skills and a well-developed sense of loyalty. Such a mind-set can involve risks," he added.

German intelligence agency apologizes for wiping Israel off the map
Head of Germany's military counterintelligence agency apologizes for publishing report with a map that failed to show the state of Israel.
08/05/20 03:40
The head of Germany's military counterintelligence agency apologized on Thursday for publishing a report containing a map that failed to show the state of Israel, The Associated Press reported.
The agency, known by its German acronym MAD, said that the initial draft of its 2019 annual report erroneously depicted Israel in the same color as neighboring Jordan.
The agency said the error was "immediately corrected" and an investigation was launched.
The probe concluded that the mistake had been caused by "lack of diligence and insufficient quality control" rather than deliberate action or political intent, MAD said.
"I regret this incident deeply and expressly apologize," said MAD chief Christof Gramm. He noted that the agency's duties include combating anti-Semitism and extremism within the military.
Germany and Israel have generally enjoyed solid relations, despite reports of diplomatic tensions between the countries in 2016.
Both Israel and Germany denied the reports at the time.
More recently, Germany backed Israel's argument that the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC) does not extend to Palestinian Authority-assigned areas, as "Palestine" is not a state that fulfills all the criteria under general international law.
