Stefan Pauly has been interested in all types of vehicles since his childhood. He turned this passion into a career in 2012 when he successfully completed his integrated mechanical engineering degree with the Bundeswehr, combining theoretical study with work placements.
Since his first day on the job, the civil servant at the Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBwBundesamt für Ausrüstung, Informationstechnik und Nutzung der Bundeswehr) has been dealing with the procurement of protected vehicles. His work has allowed him to gather many interesting impressions and experiences. One of the highlights so far has been a business trip to Dubai. In an interview, the 28-year-old explains how this relates to the Bundeswehr.
