The first of three trials linked to a far-right coup plot starts in Germany, with defendants accused of high treason and belonging to a terrorist organization.
The group planned to overthrow the German government, rejecting the post-war state and claiming Allied powers' control after World War II.
The alleged ringleader, Heinrich XIII Prince Reuss, was to be the provisional head of a German state, planning to storm the parliament and detain prominent politicians.
More trials involving other members of the group and its military arm are scheduled in different cities, with numerous lawyers and witnesses involved.
