The first witness today, a federal criminal police detective, had evaluated the maps of the city of Kiel found in the Fr\u00fchlingsstra\u00dfe apartment. As to the contents of these documents, his testimony was far from spectacular. However, in describing the institutions listed, the witness several times referred to \u201cIslamist\u201d institutions when he meant \u201cIslamic\u201d ones, and when the presiding judge asked him about his terms, dug his own hole ever deeper: \u201cI mean oriental, Ottoman, \u2026\u201d, generally institutions representing people with \u201cbackgrounds differing from that of the German Volk itself\u201d. As is to be expected, this lead to murmurs of contradiction within the courtroom and in the public gallery. In reaction to these, Wohlleben defense counsel again showed his rightwing tendencies and loudly asked the presiding judge to restore order in the court.
\nAnother federal police detective reported on maps and other material concerning several cities. The material concerning Zwickau \u2013 like that for Chemnitz \u2013 contained a lot of markings, but none of these concerned potential targets according to the NSU\u2019s usual categories. Whether these markings concern flight routes for bank robberies, or whether they have some other relevance, e.g. for the NSU\u2019s structure, could not be cleared up.<\/p>\n
Material concerning Greifswald and Plauen (both in Eastern Germany) contained markings for banks. In Ludwigsburg and Dortmund (both in Western Germany), the markings concerned Turkish and Islamic institutions, members of parliament, and shops whose proprietors had Turkish roots, some with detailed notes which could only stem from personal observations. One handwritten note reads \u201cresidential area like in M\u00fchlheim Cologne\u201d \u2013 a reference to the Keupstra\u00dfe in Cologne, where the bombing attack took place in June of 2004. One map and list concerning Dortmund had been printed out of 3 June 2006, one day before the murder of Mehmet Kuba\u015f\u0131k in that city.<\/p>\n
At the end of the trial day, victims\u2019 counsel moved that the \u201cKriegsberichter\u201d videos, published by \u201cNS88\u201d Records, a label of Blood and Honour Scandinavia, be played in court. Two weeks ago, a founding member of the \u201cKameradschaft Jena\u201d had testified (see the reports of 16 September 2015<\/a> and 7 October 2015<\/a>) that he had watched these videos with \u201ccomrades\u201d and that they had led to discussions on a \u201cmilitant organization\u201d. The videos can quite drastically show the extremely violent and racist ideology which was already quite prevalent in the mid-1990s, including in the \u201cKameradschaft Jena\u201d from which the NSU\u2019s members came.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" More witnesses on the documents showing the NSU scouting out potential victims.
