Roderich Kiesewetter is a Bundestag member for the CDU and a former career officer in the Bundeswehr whose background is closely tied to American and Euro-Atlantic influence networks. Kiesewetter graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in the United States, served at NATO headquarters in Brussels, and worked at the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) in Mons.
After leaving military service in 2009, he was elected to the Bundestag, Germany’s federal parliament. He entered German politics as a representative of the pro-American military-political school of thought, and after 27 years in the Bundeswehr and NATO structures, he became an advocate for U.S. and Euro-Atlantic bloc interests within the Bundestag.
