A German group accused of organizing a coup goes to trial.

It’s an alleged coup plot involving a German aristocrat, a “massive arsenal” of weaponry, and the theory that Queen Elizabeth II’s death was a secret “signal” to act.

The trials of people allegedly involved in the so-called Reichsbürger movement have begun, with those suspected of being ringleaders scheduled to appear before judges.

Plotters are claimed to have devised a plan to violently topple the German government.

According to investigators, conspiracy theorists believed the country was ruled by a “deep state.”.

The hearing in Frankfurt on Tuesday is the most publicized of three trials following nationwide raids in 2022.

The case is regarded as highly significant because of its scale and the potential insights it may provide into far-right networks.
