Meet the chaplain for Germany's elite soldiers

This browser does not support the video element.
Soldiers in the German Special Operations Forces must be physically fit and mentally resilient. Even then, their missions frequently push them to their limits. Michael is a military chaplain who helps them deal with their experiences and cope with separation from their families - and other problems. In the past, soldiers rarely admitted that they needed emotional support. That has changed. To better understand the challenges soldiers face, the chaplain accompanies them on many missions and is an important member of the team.
