OK. But they should at least be able to speak the language.

Berlin police struggle to find German-speaking recruits – Berlin is struggling to recruit enough police officers because applicants are unable to speak German, according to the force’s president.

Barbara Slowik Meisel revealed that 40 per cent of applicants failed a German language skills test.

Ms Slowik Meisel said the trend, driven by increasing numbers of migrant applications, had created a dilemma for the Berlin police department: it cannot lower its standards but also urgently needs officers.

When their origin is well-known.

Third drone and suspected military explosives found near Leipzig airport – Local media report discovery by German investigators after attempted attack on cargo and military logistics hub.

German investigators uncovered a third drone and suspected military explosives thought to be connected to an attempted attack on Leipzig airport, local media have reported.

The drone was discovered in Kabelsketal, just to the west of the airport, along with about 50g (1.8oz) of a suspected military explosive on 14 August, 10 days after the unsuccessful sabotage. Leipzig airport is a cargo and military logistics hub used by Nato and Ukraine’s Antonov Airlines for transporting military supplies.

The office of the prosecutor general, which is leading the investigation, declined to comment on Tuesday. But the German chancellor, Friedrich Merz, said the government would soon provide information about who it believed was behind the drone attacks.

It’s the little unsavoury details that make a big unsavoury difference.

Germany’s Nord Stream grudge – The looming trial could undermine support for Ukraine…

The first of the Nord Stream criminal trials will start on 26 October in Hamburg. It will expose many unsavoury details. The prosecutors might ask questions such as: who ordered the attacks? What did President Volodymyr Zelensky know? When did he know it? The attack left Germany in a perma-energy crisis.

That means Berlin was yesterday.

Germany news: Berlin losing its appeal for many Germans – Fewer than a third of Germans find their capital city “fascinating”, a sharp fall from 20 years ago, a survey has found.

More Germans think Berlin ‘lacks charisma’ than those who find it ‘fascinating,’ according to a survey.

Calling AfD voters the n-word (nazis) is the most popular pastime of the German Mind Police these days.

This makes it easier for the established parties to maintain their “firewall” in order to protect themselves from competition, i.e. from having to do what the voters want them to do (see migration, energy, bureaucracy, etc.).

Germany’s AfD is labeled far right, populist or extremist – Right wing, far right, fascist: Many terms are being thrown around in the debate about the AfD. What do they mean, and how appropriate are they when discussing the Af

If you squint your eyes a little bit, after a few drinks. And some dope.

Germany: Gender switch neo-Nazi sent to men’s prison – Far-right provocateur Marla Svenja Liebich was transferred to a men’s prison after being extradited from the Czech Republic. Authorities say the decision took into account the safety of prisoners at a women’s facility.

“Diplomatically awkward”

The truth often is.

Nord Stream blast ordered by Ukraine, say German prosecutors – German prosecutors believe the Ukrainian national suspected of sabotaging Baltic Sea gas pipelines in 2022 acted “on the orders of state authorities in Ukraine…”

Germany is one of the biggest military backers of Ukraine in its battle against the ongoing Russian invasion, making the incident potentially diplomatically awkward. Before the war, Germany covered a considerable part of its energy needs with fuel and gas from Russia.
