Großazzia in der sächsischen Kleinstadt #Colditz: 225 Zollfahnder und Bundespolizisten durchsuchen seit dem Morgen die Liegenschaften der Familie N., die Jahre das Zentrum der aggressiven Neonaziszene in der Region bildete. Der Verdacht: Drogenhandel.
Nach MDR-Informationen wurden Waffen gefunden sowie eine Marihuanaplantage im Ortsteil Hohnbach (Foto) entdeckt. Außerdem beschlagnahmte der Zoll einen Lamborghini und einen Mercedes bei den vermeintlichen Sozialhilfeempfängern.

Thread. Giving the V-sign to captors. Around 15,000 Indian soldiers were captured in North Africa & Italy in #WW2. They were held by the Germans and Italians for up to 5 years, and almost none of their stories are known. 1/9
I am trying to track down relatives of these 15,000 Indian POWs. For example, in this group photo from a German camp for officers, there’s a #sikh officer in the back row. Was this your grandfather? 2/9
