Covert network of some 200 neo-Nazi and far-right soldiers and veterans planned to abduct and execute Green Party leader Claudia Roth, Germany's Foreign Minister Heiko Maas and former president Joachim Gauck, as well as leaders of asylum group, on 'Day X,' when law and order collapses, German magazine Focus reports.
Germany's Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) uncovered a plot by a covert network of some 200 neo-Nazi and far-right soldiers and veterans of an elite commando unit to murder left-wing politicians and asylum seekers, according to an extensive investigative report in German news magazine Focus.
The plot, carried out by a group within the Bundeswehr's KSK unit, was to be unleashed on what they dubbed "Day X," when law and order in the country would collapse, something they believed was "imminent."
Death squads planned to abduct and murder Green Party leader Claudia Roth, Germany's Foreign Minister Heiko Maas and the country's former president Joachim Gauck, as well as leaders of asylum groups.
The plotters all reportedly belonged to a group called "Uniter," which was founded in 1996 to benefit Germany soldiers returning from tours in Afghanistan and Africa. "Uniter" denied knowledge of the group.
German authorities learned about the alleged secret group during an investigation into a German officer who was caught trying to pose as a Syrian refugee last year. During the officer's interrogation, German security forces learned of his affiliation to the far right and his plans to carry out attacks against politicians and immigrants.
The investigation further found that soldiers from right-wing groups tried to establish neo-Nazi cells within the German military.

In the investigation in the case of Franco A. the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) has apparently evidence of a larger conspiratorial network of radical prepapers, ie people preparing for a possible end of the world, within the Bundeswehr. This reports FOCUS and refers to investigation files of the BKA.
Thereafter, there should be numerous connections to an association for elite soldiers and members of the special forces command (KSK). According to eyewitnesses, in chat groups and at real meetings of preppers there were concrete plans for a so-called "Day X", "to spend unpopular politicians to a place of killing".
In addition, secret weapons depots and fuel storage have been created, writes FOCUS on. On a death list not found until today, the leader of the Left Party in the Bundestag, Dietmar Bartsch, should have been at the top. As part of the investigation last year, the house of a Rostock local politician and lawyer was searched.
Lieutenant colonel obstructed investigation
As FOCUS continues to write, the investigation of the BKA were apparently massively obstructed by a 42-year-old lieutenant colonel of the Military Shielding Service (MAD), against which the Cologne public prosecutor under the file number 539 Ds 297/18 at the District Court of Cologne has charged. The man is said to have warned members of the KSK, who served as leaders of the survival scene, among other things, from searches.
Furthermore, there are apparently close connections between the survival fans and members of an association for elite soldiers with the name "Uniter eV", which collects mainly members of the special forces of the military and police . Thus, the chat groups were headed by several of the then main sergeants of the KSK. One of them is the current chairman of the association. At the same time, the man acted as interrogators as an "informant" of the MAD Uniter eV and presented "the only credible source of information on internal processes of the KSK" for military intelligence.
The specialized committees of the Bundestag had not been informed, said Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, defense spokeswoman for the FDP , the FOCUS. "This matter must be fully informed in Parliament," the politician demanded.
