A scene to the past.

• A sitting judge,a former elite paratroopers commander and a former police officer.
• They were among the 25 people arrested by the German authorities on Wednesday in a nationwide crackdown on what they called an extremist group that was planning to overthrow the state.
• While Germany has seen the rise of several far-right networks, their growing infuence over serving and retired members of its security agencies and other state branches should be a matter of concern, given its Nazi past.
• Among those arrested were members of the Reichsbürger, or Citizens of the Reich, a far-right extremist group that has not recognised the post-War German state, as well as those inspired by conspiracy theories spread by QAnon, a U.S.-based far-right community.
• The authorities say the plan was to attack the Bundestag, bring down the government through a coup and have a new Reich modeled around the pre-First World War imperial state.
• Heinrich XIII, Prince Reuss, the 71-year-old former paratroops commander who is believed to be the ringleader, was known for his anti-Semitic dog whistles and attacks on the modern German republic,which he once called an illusion.
• So, irrespective of the actual strength and capabilities of the group, what Germany has seen is the coming together of anti-Semitic extremists from across society, driven by conspiracy theories and an imperial nostalgia, and who are ready to take up arms to overthrow the democratic German state.
• This is not an isolated incident. Germany has also seen a rise in violent incidents by far-right extremists.
• In 2019, a center-left local politician in western Germany was killed and a synagogue in Halle, eastern Germany, was attacked by a gunman, killing two.
• Last year, the government had to partially disband its elite special-forces unit,Kommando Spezialkräfte, after extremism within its ranks.
• Germany faces two types of far-right challenges — that posed by extremist groups such as Reichsbürger and the other by the main-streaming of far-right politics — the Alternative for Germany (AfD), the far-right party that failed to cross the 5% threshold in the 2013 elections,but won 83 seats in the Bundestag last year.
