Thus taught us tolerance i believe the public now trust the police less than it used to its mind as hes transit reports indicate that plans for a coup attempt against the German Government have already been drafted. In these documents the start date is called day 6. And the security authorities have to take this seriously to maintain the Publics Trust in our constitutional state engine to get wins on the stuff but are they doing enough to crack down on right wing extremists among soldiers and police and their plans to disrupt the government.

And hes an awfully stunned the message said that over the last 16 months a network of right wingers had been established across europe and that nearly 2000 potential members had been contacted or will pop tut. But does this network actually exist can the german people still trust the police and the military the bundeswehr your fondest. Wish to mention on tough times its a house of. Cards.

The coup participants should take over the college barracks and seize the weapons stored there. After our meeting with bowker al someone else associated with the group gives us a hard drive filled with alarming photographs and my hands. The data indicates that folk or al had been organizing training exercises since 2014. This activity included preparations for sabotaging bridges. We also find an email from Andrea Esther poker a fellow asking him to design an identification badges for Certain Group leaders. The badges featured a skull and crossbones and a logo that stood for day x. The groups organizational efforts were clearly well advanced. By 2015 entre as another cause com members had set up a north korea chat group assigning various tasks to individual members and recruiting new supporters the network spread across germany. Members of the elite Commando Force appeared to have been actively preparing for the day x. Operation. Are these isolated cases. Some say that the cost com military units have a fundamental problem with right wing activity and that this dates back to the founding of the organization and 1996 and one of its 1st commanders i am lets mass murders here we started. Looking into that situation after general bryan hunt console was appointed commander in 2001 later he was accused of making inappropriate public remarks and was removed from his post saying that last night. But critics claim that these problems have persisted and the government has failed to address them. All when i lift. Off we need to take a long hard look at the role of the.

Allowing extremism to flourish slobbered is again my have to scream are i sometimes you can have too much secrecy and that can cause problems all shocked that. Our Research Indicates that andre s. And marco g. Were actively planning a coup attempt. We track down a day x.

This site is believed to have been chosen by folks. Some of the buildings here are used as artillery practice targets. The operation also called for taking over a vehicle storage site. We couldnt find anything about that in our copy of the plan but one expert speculates on what the conspirators might have had in mind. Here spirit cuts partnership because of all the transportation would play a big role in these sorts of situations and especially in a north kreutzer operation. They would have to move their own troops around and they may also have a plan to arrest potential opponents and to do that you need vehicles including trucks apartment just cut numbers since you got a countrys.

One of marco g. s close contacts a former east german soldier named your gas is not facing charges at this time in 2016 the 2 exchanged a series of emails that indicates that it was your guess who set up the Meeting Point in bahrain located near a military training area. In fact our research has allowed us to establish the outline of an entire network of such points your gas is also a sergeant and the bone despair reserve. Many of the other conspirators are also alleged to be reservists york served for some time at the air force base at all stock laca a euro Fighter Squadron is stationed there. When the Squadron Commander left his job and 2019 invited your guests to his official farewell celebration despite the fact that he was already known to federal authorities as a suspected right wing extremist. We wanted to discuss this with the new Squadron Commander but base of facials referred us to the Defense Ministry no one there would talk to us about the case. We also contacted the military Counterintelligence Service and they wouldnt talk to us either it. Just sort of elaine you know this is a high Security Military base and home to some of the buddhas vez most sophisticated weapon systems its in this situation has to be thorough investigated us and. We identified a further associate of marco g. And the court amin p. Who trains 0 Fighter Pilots at the rostock air base. How have those suspected of supporting a right wing Antigovernment Movement managed to gain access to high Security Military sites. Constantine for notes is a member of the bundestag Oversight Panel thats responsible for germanys intelligence agencies. That truly shot. The possibility of a coup attempt even during the pandemic may seem unlikely inside but we still have to take it seriously and react accordingly and special. Our Research Indicates that many of the alleged isolated cases in the police and the military are connected. For example volga el the weapons dealer confirmed that the group led by andre ass had contact with the bone despair officer called bronco a. And that so he was at the safe house he was there yes. After standoff on one occasion he took me aside. Before and asked how he could get his hands on a weapon in germany though it sounds as if the victims often visits. The men at the same palace was franco a who in 2017 1st drew attention to right wing extremism in the german military. For over a year he posed as a syrian refugee. In its decision on his case the German Supreme Court cited a number of extremist statements that he made. People do not accept the greatest truth if it is not connected with a triggering event. You should destroy the entire system. A struggle for i knew the front and for god i believe that from the very beginning these people believed at least to a certain extent that day x. Could actually take place and they trying to find ways to make it happen. In early 2017 bronco a was in vienna. At the airport he had a weapon in a Public Toilet and then posted the location to his whatsapp group. The group also included other soldiers. He was arrested when he tried to retrieve the gun. That evening and annual ball sponsored by austrias right wing Freedom Party was to be held. The event often draws lots of demonstrators. Investigators believe that franco intended to carry out an attack there he believed that since he was registered as a refugee many would blame the crime on the immigrant community. Thats less fun cool go and was believed to have been preparing an attack that with can be attributed to islamists or leftists or whomever the Little League and the north kreutzer group was considering similar measures they figured that a provocation might be the best way to get things moving then a sneeze from allston posse at. A few. Cases like this have prompted speculation about what marco g. Actually intended to do with the stockpile of weapons and ammunition that he. Kept at his house and where he got all that ammo. Marco didnt respond to our requests for an interview so we go to visit him and dansko a woman who answers the door refuses to talk to us. This fearing Prosecutors Office has determined that much of the ammunition came from bone despair and police warehouses. Its actually quite easy to determine the origins of this kind of ammo if you know what to look for. We talked to someone who does. That 1st you go from 0 to just off and see who needs these were military grade rounds so conceived here they have a very high penetration capability solution to quite effective against a wide variety of targets smoking is as this has nothing to do with self defense which does offensive doesnt it was wonderful asking those limits of these rounds can penetrate body armor so we can assume that they might be used against Police Offices and Security Forces insertion tsunami and getting pretty tired out into forts again. To find out where the ammunition came from you have to look for the specific lot number on the package. Its often limited to in charge omfg even with containers of 500. 00 or 1000 rounds youll find individual packages like the canadian part and the lot number is always stand on the bottom of each round as a. Zone but all. These countries has a shift to the appropriate department which then hands them out to individual offices with the African Leaders the departments keep the records issued so you can quickly determine when the ammunition came in and when it went down to snow on the phone and despite our prosecutors are still try. Figure out how the police could lose track of so much ammo. Katic left course we contacted the relevant authorities and asked for specific information on the investigation is still underway and the fuel of all. We try to figure out for ourselves where the ammunition came from the results are startling. The rounds had originally been supplied to bone despair and elite police units all over germany for example 1200 cartridges were traced back to the state of north rhinewestphalia. We find out that special police units from dusseldorf cologne in dortmund often trained in the wide open spaces of mechlin ball for 4 men. Did any of the officers have contact with marcos group. We want to talk to the authorities and do spork who distribute ammunition to individual departments. They declined to be interviewed but later admitted in an email that the rounds had indeed come from the state police stockpiles. North rhinewestphalia has now revised its ammunition Distribution System but its still not clear who was actually responsible for handing over the rounds to an authorized individuals. The Officials Say they cant comment on an ongoing criminal investigation. 100 other cartridges that later turned up in marcos stockpile were determined to have come from an elite police unit in bavaria the us cause. We go to munich to meet a very in Parliament Member florian ritter. We wanted to find out whether he was aware of any contacts between the car and the right wingers. The home of the ship via foreign made several com embers were recently investigated for allegedly sharing objectionable content on chat apps Union Officials determined that some of that content might have been anti semitic. After learning that ammunition from bavaria had been submitted as evidence in a criminal trial and sherene. Filed a written request demanding that the authorities explain the situation. For them to show the answer that i got from the interior ministry was astonishing they said that no ammunition had gone missing. But prosecutors and mean have been able to prove just the opposite. The various state premier marcus sudha apparently has little interest in pursuing this potentially explosive matter. Obvious connections between the North Koreans group and bavaria and thats a problems for. Him with dealing with a terrorist network here if weapons or ammunition from federal varian sources. Network then we have to find out how thats happening. In solution. The German Government has to protect itself against such threats. You cant just close your eyes and hose that the problem will go away. That would be extremely dangerous in a. Few mins most. We finally managed to get the various state criminal Police Office to admit that prosecutors are investigating the situation. But they declined to comment further and they certainly didnt want to talk on camera citing the ongoing criminal investigation and. Beyond should we also have to protect the officials who were sworn to uphold the german constitution and to protect democratic way of life. To commence its beauty of to see if we dont do that we will expose those officials to a public debate that they really dont deserve to be part of. The discovery of the ammunition that had been stored and turned into a National Scandal for the police and the bone despair. But most of the investigative work was left to prosecutors and. Private shooting range. Provided even more clues. For years and structures from several police units attended shooting competitions there. Including some of the units from which marco cheap got his ammunition. The events were authorized by mechlin borgs interior ministry and organized by a civilian who turned them into a kind of weapons trade fair. State interior minister laurence coffey was the competitions patron and often attended the events himself and. We visit the shooting range and may 2019 and talk to the people who run it. Since then weve learned that some of them had close ties to the North Koreans group and marco g. Who went there for shooting practice evidence presented at this 15 trial indicated that the ranges owner frank t. Passed along north quotes instructions to moscow. The better we can communicate the easier it will be for us to meet on day x. But until then we have to keep a low profile. And state interior minister coffey a also met often with frank t. At the shooting competitions. Did the minister notice anything unusual at these events. The ministry has set up a commission to investigate all this its not yet clear how much progress theyve made. So we contact the ministry for more information and they dont respond to our requests so we decide to go there in person. Name the city if. Weve been trying to find out more about north courts and the cousteau shooting range system wed like to talk to mr coffey about that but no one has responded to our requests for an interview and im really really. Good maybe we could talk to you about it ill see what i can do ok. A few minutes later a Security Guard arrives please leave the building. No interview no please leave me that it misled because said shed be back you have to leave now as opposed to the moment but she said shed be back here oh please leave the building as if she promised to talk to us as complains leave the building with us and it was ok. The minister seems to be stonewalling us the federal interior minister hoarse to say all 4 wont talk to us about right wing extremists either officials at the Defense Ministry tell us that they are pursuing a 0 tolerance policy on right wing extremism but its the federal Prosecutors Office that should be tackling these cases they say that they have no evidence that andre ass or marco g. Were members of a terrorist organization could be discussed in madrid can you explain why the investigations are going nowhere no icons why not. The team ive been studying this process for a long time and i still cant understand why its taking so long but into one country doesnt cancel as enough it seems will missiles is plugged in muslim missing the sca fruit i think that sometimes the authorities are just being cautious because the situation has attracted so much attention they dont want to cause trouble if you stop off to go but the interior ministry has announced new measures to fight right wing extremism. Is is. There to shorten the of we have to play an active role in this effort was even more so than the rest of the government. Has been a symbol because she wanted to survive. So is a coup attempt really possible. Doesnt it was just after this is like a cancer thats growing in our society because it undermines the Publics Trust in the people who are supposed to protect us when people feel that theyre in some sort of danger they may now feel uncomfortable about calling the Police Version each inmate in book 4 palm if i were in mecklenburg for palmer and. My family think twice about it all shots as far as his business family. So have the authorities successfully tackled this threat he advised mr bond so no the threat remains its important to stress that the right wing structures are still in place as they have been for decades in germany and a highly dangerous and a fearless tied to the. Right wing extremists continue to enforce trade germanys Security Apparatus and the government needs to do more to stop them they pose a serious threat to democracy. Now.
