Five German News Stories

 1.  Some story this AM out of Hamburg...two students threatened school teacher with a 'gun'.  SEK (fed) cops have shown up.  Two students have 'escaped'....no rounds fired apparently.  Cops looking for them.

2.  RBB TV network case in court....from terminations in summer of 2022.  Court said this AM that all of the 'firings' were legit.

3.  267,000 asylum applications so far in Germany for 2023.  

4.  EU says 2023 was the warmest year in 125,000 years.  From my personal standpoint....it was the mildest summer in the several decades that I've been around Germany....with only nine days where it got above 30 C at the house.

5.  Today (8th) is the 100th anniversary of the Hitler attempt to take power of Munich, in a failed attempt.  Had this succeeded?  Well...you could probably discuss a couple of weeks where the Brown-Shirts and Hitler would run Bavarian politics, and eventually some militia crew from Berlin would have arrived and deposed them.  It's questionable if Hitler would have survived this 'era'.
