Sergeant Major Tobias Lagenstein fell in action on May 28, 2011, in Taloqan, Afghanistan, while serving as a team leader in the close protection detail for the Commander of Regional Command North. 2026 marks the fifteenth anniversary of his deatha fitting moment to look both backward and forward: at the attack itself, which continues to raise many questions; at his personal effects, which have now been examined for the first time; at his surviving family members and comrades, who share their thoughts in moving interviews; and at German veteran culture, which is evolving within the dynamic interplay of Bundeswehr tradition, German military history, and civil society. This book is addressed equally to civil society and the military; through the lens of Tobias Lagensteins life, it illustrates a specific chapter of our recent military history: the ISAF mission in Afghanistan. The text offers insights and perspectives on what society and the armed forcesamidst this current era of profound geopolitical changecan take away from, leave behind, and further develop based on Germanys operational history of recent years.
