What is the situation regarding the recruitment of young people for the navy? An interview update with the head of the Bundeswehr's career centre in Wilhelmshaven

Captain Christian Clausing has one of those jobs that makes you think of "Mission Impossible".

He laughs: "A little," he says, pointing to a small gap between his thumb and index finger. And there is also reason for optimism, as the number of applicants is developing well. What is he responsible for? As head of the careers centre in Wilhelmshaven, he reports to the Federal Office of Bundeswehr Personnel Management.
