For the first time since the end of the Cold War, the German government plans to tell citizens to stockpile food and water in case of an attack or catastrophe, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung newspaper reported on Sunday.

However, the 69-page report does not see war as likely, nor an attack on German soil.

Separately, there are articles citing a renewed draft of doctors in Germany.
