Ah, not a comic book buff myself, but will celebrate that on this day in 1940, the first issue of Captain America Comics was published, with this iconic cover.

"When the first issue came out we got a lot of ... threatening letters and hate mail. Some people really opposed what Cap stood for."

Germany raids far-right group over plot to install prince in coup

Germany on Wednesday detained 25 members and supporters of a far-right group that the prosecutor's office said was preparing a violent overthrow of the state to install as national leader a prince who had sought support from Russia.

Prosecutors said the group was inspired by the deep state conspiracy theories of Germany's Reichsbuerger and QAnon, whose advocates were among those arrested after the storming of the U.S. Capitol in January 2021.

Members of the Reichsbuerger (Citizens of the Reich) do not recognise modern-day Germany as a legitimate state. Some of them are devoted to the German empire under monarchy, while some are adherents of Nazi ideas and others believe Germany is under military occupation.
