 "The number of fatalities has caused a stir in Germany since it is the highest of all abroad deployments the German army has ever participated in" 
 I would demand a source for that. Nobody cares about the 50 soldiers that died in that "war". The real and only problem is that the operation is considered imperialist by many, who argue that Germany does neither have right nor responsibility for Afghanistan. But the amout of fallen soldiers is irrelevant in the debate.
