Annual German Reception at International Conference Centre

Brunssum, The Netherlands - On Tuesday the 23rd of October Major General Walter OHM, the German Senior National Representative Allied Headquarters Joint Force Command Brunssum (JFCBS), hosted the traditional annual German Reception and welcomed guests from the Headquarters, surrounding military entities and other institutions in the area.

General OHM narrated Germany’s journey from the end of World War II, through the integration of West Germany into the NATO structure, the Cold War years and the collapse of the Iron Curtain, through to the manifold challenges facing the country today, successfully painting to the guests a colourful picture of recent German history to return to mind that all of our nations should be grateful for peace and stability.

The German Army Music Corps from Koblenz played an arrangement of military music at the end of the reception, thus providing a dignified finale to the evening.
