Day X, Part 5: Defensive Democracy

In this episode, we get answers on just how bad the problem of
far-right infiltration in the German military and police really
is — and how Germany is trying to address it.


We learn about Germany's "defensive democracy," which was
designed after World War II to protect the country against
threats from the inside. One of those threats, according to some
German officials, is the Alternative for Germany, widely known by
its German initials AfD. We meet intelligence officials who have
put parts of the party under formal surveillance.
