Oberstleutnant Rose is the name of the guy.
He serves in a administrative position somewhere and likes publicity.
Note that OTL Rose never had to go neither to Afghanistan nor to Iraq, he just likes to be quoted in public.
There's a lot of stuff going wrong in the Bundeswehr and maybe soldiers need to be more open about it, but not that way...
Btw, I share Skybirds opinion that the recent military commitments of Germany are just for show.
