They wanted to unhinge the republic and turn Germany back into the "Reich" in its old borders and structures. The "Patriotische Union" around Prinz Reuss planned a civil war in Germany and sought to depose the federal government using paramilitary force. They were exposed in December 2022. This was followed by one of the largest anti-terror operations in the history of the Federal Republic with 5,000 police officers, raids and numerous arrests. But the suspected terrorist group seems more like an aged ideological cult made up of elderly pensioners and weirdos. Are these men really that dangerous? This investigative documentary tells the almost unbelievable story of the alleged terrorist cell, follows the traces of the members, reconstructs the meetings of the inner circle in the year before the unmasking and how the group secretly forged absurd plans, expanded their network and recruited military personnel and policemen, all of that in order to presumably seize power in Germany.
