The Bundswehr mission lasted 44 hours.
A group of 15 Bundeswehr troops left Greenland on Sunday, January 18 - a day after Donald Trump threatened to impose duties against Germany for supporting Denmark in a territorial dispute. The military's departure was announced by a spokesman for the Bundeswehr's operational command.
Berlin denied that the mission was cut off early, writes German Wave.
"The reconnaissance mission has produced results that everyone is satisfied with, and it is now being evaluated in Germany," he said.
The military denied that the mission was cut off early. "The reconnaissance has been completed as planned," he said. According to him, the German military flew to Reykjavik, from where they will go to Copenhagen.
The Deutschlandfunk radio station recalls that the German Defense Ministry initially said that the deadline for the Bundeswehr's reconnaissance mission in Greenland was January 15-17. But on Saturday it clarified that the exact duration of the mission had not been determined.
Departure from Greenland due to weather conditions
The Bild tabloid calculates that the Bundeswehr's mission in Greenland lasted 44 hours. The publication claims that the order to leave the island came from Berlin on the morning of January 18.
Bild originally wrote about the "secret hasty departure" of German soldiers from Greenland. The tabloid later issued a retraction and brought a clarification from the German Defense Ministry. According to this information, an additional military trip to Greenland was planned for January 18, but it was canceled due to weather conditions, so they left the island in the morning.
