The first witness today was a police officer who had questioned Juliane Walther. Walther herself had testified in court on\u00a026 March 2014<\/a> and 27 March 2014<\/a> and had answered evasively, claimed memory gaps and even tried to deny some of the statements she had made in her police interview. Today\u2019s witness confirmed that she had indeed made these statements to the police.<\/p>\n Wohlleben defence attorney Klemke asked the witness a number of questions concerning his earlier career in the \u201cstate security division\u201d of the Jena criminal police. The witness proved unable to correctly answer even rather basic questions correctly. However, this does not mean that Klemke achieved anything for his client Wohlleben: it became quite clear that and why the Nazi scene in the 1990s was able to conduct its activities largely without police intervention \u2013 but that of course has nothing to do with the questioning of Juliane Walther in the year 2012. The last witness, another detective with the federal criminal police, had evaluated maps and list of addresses concerning several cities. A city map of Zwickau showed no marks for potential targets. The city maps and lists for Munich and Nuremberg\/Erlangen\/F\u00fcrth, on the other hand, contained several such notes. A list for Nuremberg contained the address where \u0130smail Ya\u015far was shot and killed in June 2005, added by hand. Next to it were several Turkish and Muslim organizations, accommodations for asylum seekers, political parties from the socialist PDS to conservative CSU as well as several gun shops. Some entries again testify to quite intensive personal reconnaissance (\u201cdoor opens without key, basement is open\u201d).<\/p>\n These notes, all of which come from late 2004\/2005, allow a view into the NSU\u2019s future goals and plans: until then, they had murdered small business owners with Turkish roots and committed bombing attacks against \u201cforeigners\u201d, now new groups of potential victims \u2013 refuges on the one hand and officials of the state or \u201cthe system\u201d on the other hand \u2013 enter the picture. The presence of several gun shops is also interesting, after all the NSU had more than enough guns for its purposes and, for all that is known, none of these had been bought, stolen or robbed from gun stores.<\/p>\n All this allows the conclusion that they were trying to plan the next step after the series of Ceska murders. The variety of potential targets in various cities as well as the marking of gun shops makes it seem very likely that in the future, the NSU saw itself in the role of a \u201csuper cell\u201d giving instructions to other cells \u2013 similar to the \u201cTurner Diaries\u201d by William Pierce, where a secret command structure (\u201cThe Order\u201d) gave the individual cells instructions on targets and coordinated common actions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On the notes showing the NSU scouting out potential victims: an insight into their strategic plans?

\nThe next witness was a federal criminal police detective who had evaluated several maps of cities in Thuringia found in the mobile home in Eisenach. These consisted of notes showing the scouting out of targets for bank robberies, including sketches of the interior of several banks which must have been the result of quite intensive personal reconnaissance. One bank sketched was indeed later robbed.<\/p>\n
