    German media knew about it two weeks ago and had live coverage which is odd for a ecret police operation. And there were no weapons found, nor connections to the military. In fact most of the arrested are already retired. The whole story is so bad that even Hollywood would reject it.

      What do you mean no connections to the military? Some of the arrested are still in the military right now, another one was part of our special military forces.

        Maybe I should have said military leadership. No connections there, neither to police leadership. So even if they manage to show up at the Reichstag with hunting rifles mounted to their rollators, police would easily arrest them. Remember that the youngest person arrested is like 60.

      there were no weapons found

      Maybe it did not come up initially, but now it is comminicated that they actually possessed weapons, quote:

      Bei rund 50 Objekten seien auch Waffen festgestellt worden.

      Weapons were also found in about 50 objects, he said.

      The rest is odd though, there has been an interview with an MP from the Left party where they discuss what you mentioned.

        Its strange that they dont give any details about the weapons. Makes me think that they only found some kitchen knifes or hunting rifles.

          That’s exactly what I thought whrn I read “50 weapons”. I mean anything is a weapen when used as one. 50 is way off the real number.

      The thing about fiction is that it has to be written to be believable. Reality is under no such obligation.
