Germany is politically going all in behind the US.

  One of Baerbock's main aides is literally a US citizen: https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/en/about-us/leadership-federal-foreign-office/Klima https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/en/about-us/leadership-feder... I am still not sure how this was possible.

    Or the fact that the entire German gov mobile communication stack was recently handed over to Apple (email, calendars) and Wire (messaging). Both US owned.

          > applications for e-mail, calendars and contacts integrated into commercial iPhones.. maybe I did misread you. You lamented the "hand over" of "the entire German gov mobile communication stack" to Apple. But what you show is BSI audited iOS and verified their own Indigo solution to be compliant with their requirements for handling VS-NfD documents (one solution of a handful of others). So VS-NfD bits will pass that software stack sure - but as I was sceptic if "the operational part" was handled by Apple, I don't see this supported. An MDM will set endpoints for email/carddav/caldav to .de gov servers, I hope :)
