Day X podcast has released its first episode and the podcast floats critical questions about how democracies around the world can be at risk from extremists within their own borders instead of real or fabricated terrorists from demonized nations.
What starts with a mysterious gun in an airport bathroom and a fake refugee identity opens the door to a nationwide network of far-right extremists inside Germany’s military and police.
It’s a story about a changing national identity — and the backlash against it — raising a question that democracies across the world are waking up to: What happens when the threat is coming from within?
In a new audio series, hosted by Katrin Bennhold, The New York Times’s Berlin bureau chief, a story unfolds about a military officer, a faked refugee identity and an alleged far-right assassination plot intended to bring down the German government.
The Day X podcast unveils the story of “Franco A,” the military officer who faked his identity, was widely publicized in the German press. Then reports emerged that he wasn’t alone — that soldiers and police officers across the country were organizing via encrypted messages, preparing for the day democracy collapses, a day they called Day X. In the first episode, the podcast asks: Just how dangerous are they?
In the new five-part audio documentary, hosted by Katrin Bennhold, The New York Times’s Berlin bureau chief, we tell a story about a military officer, a faked refugee identity and an alleged far-right assassination plot intended to bring down the German government.
