 mission in Afghanistan.

Overview

As of June 10 2011, 53 German soldiers and three policemen have died in Afghanistan, making a total of 56 deaths. Among them are the first German reservists to fall in hostile actions and the first German policemen to die in a deployment abroad. In addition to these fatalities, 245 German soldiers and four police officers suffered injuries of varying degree caused by hostile activity.

Controversy

The number of fatalities has caused a stir in Germany since it is the highest of all deployments abroad that the German army has ever participated in and because the German participation in ISAF and Operation Enduring Freedom, which is now in its seventh year, is much disputed at the moment. ISAF participation marks the first time since World War II that German ground troops have been confronted with an organized enemy. Prior to 2002, the Armed Forces had sustained only two losses of life connected to direct hostile activities, (A soldier with UN troops in Cambodia

An incident that occurred on June 26, 2005 which was at first declared an accident by the German government turned out to have been an attack with a remote-controlled device.http://afghanistan.pigstye.net/article.php?story=HeineAndreashttp://www.faz.net/s/RubFC06D389EE76479E9E76425072B196C3/Doc~E5FDF309BA1F94741A7522C7CEE37C85A~ATpl~Ecommon~Scontent.html

The cause of death of a soldier who died on September 8, 2007 at an unknown location in Afghanistan has not yet been disclosed. It appears to be a result of suicide.

The cause of death of two soldiers who died in the first half of 2003 has yet to be disclosed. As no official sources specify the circumstances of their deaths, they are very likely not connected to hostile action.

In a statement published on February 2, 2008, Herr Jung confirmed the death of another soldier, but did not specify the cause. http://www.welt.de/politik/article1626037/Die_Bundeswehr_kaempft_im_Norden.html

 Army Special Forces soldiers died in Afghanistan. http://www.german-foreign-policy.com/de/news/art/2005/54477.php. The commander of the KSK Hans-Christoph Ammon said that no KSK soldiers have been killed in action so far.
However, due to a press release from the US European Command, http://www.eucom.mil/english/FullStory.asp?art=1142 it is confirmed that at least one soldier was wounded in action at an unknown location in Afghanistan sometime between June and October 2005.
