German Prince Heinrich XIII Reuss of Greiz was arrested Wednesday morning along with at least 24 others suspected of planning a coup d'état in Germany
The action is ongoing and 3000 police officers have arrested people in Germany associated with a right-wing group pic.twitter.com/TCOFNZv7uk

Of the 52 suspects several have military backgrounds and are suspected of stashing weapons. The group had set up a political "Council" and a military wing tasked with seizing power, which had considered storming the Bundestag and taking MPs hostage.https://t.co/rorZabxUik

(Worth stressing that, from the first reports, the coup plans seem totally delusional. But group clearly dangerous and prepared to use violence. Zeit: "conspirators had already recruited from among former and still-active police officers and soldiers".)https://t.co/rorZabxUik
