Freiheit ist das Einzigste, was zählt

Today is the founding of the Reich! Preparations for the new Germany are underway, the table is set, and the mood is quite good.

A small group of sovereignists plans to finally overthrow the German government through violence. Under the codename "Hans," the leader (Bibiana Beglau) pushes her co-conspirators through the final preparations. They still need more new Reich citizens for the implementation, and what should be done with the countless prisoners that will exist after the revolution? In theory, everything sounded much easier, but just before the major coup, the modest question arises: Among those involved, who can actually kill?
