Download it: MP3 | AAC | OGG | OPUS

On December 7, 2022, German police announced that they had uncovered a plot to overthrow the government and install a new king of Germany. Who are these seditionists, known as Reichsbürger or citizens of the Reich? What are their goals? How do they interact with other extremist groups in Germany? What can the German government do-and what can't it do-to manage the evolving threats of home-grown extremism?

Andrew Sola and Günter Danner answer these questions in this special episode of The Trans-Atlanticist Politics Podcast.
