BERLIN (AP) — Thousands of police officers carried out raids across much of Germany on Wednesday against suspected far-right extremists who allegedly sought to overthrow the government in an armed coup. Officials said 25 people were detained.
Federal prosecutors said some 3,000 officers conducted searches at 130 sites in 11 of Germany's 16 states against adherents of the so-called Reich Citizens movement. Some movement members reject Germany's postwar constitution and have called for bringing down the government.
Justice Minister Marco Buschmann described the raids as an “anti-terrorism operation,” adding that the suspects may have planned an armed attack on institutions of the state.
Germany's top security official said the group was “driven by violent coup fantasies and conspiracy ideologies.”
almost sounds like the January 6th mess here. Much of the government's talking points mirror the biden administration's claims.

It took thousands of officers to detain 25 individuals? Something doesn't smell right.
Then again, it's Germany. Being pro fracking would probably put you in their "far right" category the way they run their house.
They have some strange genetics, those Krauts. Marching here, marching there, conquering this and that Rome, the amber trade , world wars 1 and 2 Insatiable Merkel being the exception, traitor the the German people. lol
