Those are German news and they are good news, credible enough to provide true informations. Those were actually articles from the past that I had still in my history so it was easy to copy and paste them in here, also early in the morning and sorry that I didn't want to google things in English about those stories (I wasn't even sure if there was something in English about that). Not tabloids at all and you seriously do not want to compare the most German news with Americans, do you?
I don't know what you read and what you understood, but none of those were only speculations and in reality something else happened.
You either walk arounds with blinds or an alu hat.
Also, I do not believ everything what news write and I know some of their shit is total bullshit, but I know what's going on and when news point it out more specifically or just tell how it works when I know it's true, I approve.
Additionally: As you might read (or not) it is true that politicans and police officials knew about what happened and were told to cover up the story. Not it got revealed and yes, some of those people admitted it. There happens a lot of bullshit and German government officials stated officially in tv on a press conference that they don't have the control over what has been happening here and told that number x of people are suddenly missing (something that everyone who said this way of politics is dangerous and deadly), you can guess if you don't wear the blinds that politicans made those little numbers a lot nicer to not cause panic and/or look even more idiotic as they already are.
Many, so many politicians and ex politicians admitted it so do not even try to tell me I'm wrong or I'm believing what tabloids write.
It's the truth, it happened, deal with it.
