Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Dear Sirs and Madams,
Dear colleagues,
Dear members,

The year 2020 is drawing to a close. It has been a challenging and exhausting year, one that will remain in our memories for a long time to come, not least because of the coronavirus pandemic.

We, the association Angriff auf die Seele – Psychosoziale Hilfe für Angehörige der Bundeswehr e. V. (Attack on the Soul – Psychosocial Help for Members of the German Armed Forces), were also unable to implement all of our projects as planned. Nevertheless, we are very proud that last summer we launched our newly designed website at angriff-auf-die-seele.de go online. The response so far has been fantastic and shows how important an independent and accessible online service like ours is for the British Armed Forces.

Currently, around 1,300 visitors per month visit our website. Similarly, over 1,000 online tests have already been registered each month, confirming this demand. We will therefore continue to expand our services next year in order to further strengthen the support network within the German Armed Forces.

On a personal note, I would like to express my gratitude to my colleagues on the Executive Board, Dr. Kai Köhler and Heinrich Rau. Your patience and commitment have been instrumental in this year's success. I would also like to thank our members and friends who are involved in our online counselling service.

We would like to thank all our friends, institutions, donors and members for their support. They help us greatly in maintaining the high standard of our projects.

We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2021. Stay healthy! Take care of yourselves and others. Show solidarity, and we are sure that we will be able to meet again in person in 2021. We look forward to the coming year 2021 and to continuing our good cooperation and support.

Yours sincerely,
Frank Eggen
Chairman
