Germany has a serious problem with far-right extremism, but at least they're taking it somewhat seriously too.

A couple of years ago they had to disband an elite KSK special forces company due to them being essentially all fascists, nazi's or other far-right extremists. Far-right extremists in the military have also been suspected/known to be providing German fascists with pretty serious military grade weapons and equipment, which keeps turning up in various raids and arrests relating to far-right activity. That 2020 investigation turned up more than 500 individuals with far-right connections in the military, and plenty of evidence that those extremists (or suspected extremists) weren't isolated, but had formed their own networks within the military.

One of the people arrested in this new raid was also working in KSK.
