It's not exactly a coup either. They wanted to restore the monarchy, which was illegally deposed in 1918, which led to all sorts of nonsense. Is beating back a coup a coup?
Germany has the Verfassungsschutz which is supposed to protect democracy and the constitution. They do the exact opposite.
They are notorious for faking far-right threats to enable to the state to crack down on opposition.
When the only party in post-war German history got forbidden (back then it was actually the communists) in the 50s or 60s it later turned out their party leader AND the attorney who represented them in court were both Verfassungsschutz undercovers.
Same thing when they tried to prohibit the right-wing NPD several years back. Courts told them they cannot ban the party because they could not determine which crimes were committed by actual members and which by the many informants and undercovers.
A few years ago the head of the Verfassungsschutz didn't see evidence to put the opposition party AfD under surveillance. So Merkel replaced him with her puppet who immediately went full retard on the AfD.
Just last year it was revealed that they run hundreds if not thousands of "far-right" accounts on social media. So many of the "right-wing criminals" are their own accounts that they have to make sure they don't accidentally prosecute themselves.
Imagine the FBI except their sole purpose is to attack the opposition. They do nothing else. The Verfassungsschutz is basically the Stasi 2.0.
Didn't know Germany had an FBI of its very own.

Stasi joke time.
Two friends are telling jokes about life when one pauses Wait, which one of us is the spy? I hope it's not me my friend, I forgot.
