Coup Story

It's been barely mentioned in the past two weeks, but Focus magazine went and put a fairly detailed account of the 'Day-X' episode here in Germany.

Best described?

The German Federal Police say they've got enough evidence to proceed onto a court case.  At work here....a small secretive group of German elite soldiers, who had put together this plan to take down a number of German political figures and create a 'coup' (note, the cops avoid using the word).

The central figure with the story, and in the middle?  A German ex-air force officer and reserve major, who laid out the basic story.

All of this would have been put into effect once an overwhelming event due to refugees.....had occurred on German soil.  In essence....a "collapse of public order".

A serious effort to create a wave like a coup?  This is the part that I have problems with.  It's possible that you had three or four delusional folks, and a dozen others who just kinda fell into a middle of some bar-room talk (not realizing the whole episode). 

The problem here is that political folks will take this serious and start a massive investigation over the German Army and dump a hundred-odd members if they think they were part of this coup-planner episode. 

The fact that names of politicians are written down and their home addresses established?  Well....the delusional folks obviously went though the first and second steps of putting a plan together.  Another problem is that thousands of Germans will view the story and start getting funny ideas about the threat of the coup and get all hyped up over nothing.
