CLAIMS: Self-defence schools in Germany "act as camouflage for secret meetings"
Russian leader Vladimir Putin is accused of forming secret 'battle groups' in western countries including Germany ready to activate at a moment's notice.
Putin
expert and biographer Boris Reitschuster claims in his new book
'Putin's Hidden War' that this army of sleepers is trained in the Russian 'Systema' techniques of martial arts and knife fighting as taught to his country's special forces units.
German
author Reitschuster claims to have seen the reports of a western
European intelligence service detailing the covert groups spread across
the continent.
Reitschuster says
the commanders of this secret army are drawn from GRU military
intelligence and elite WDW airborn troops, adding; 'This fighting force
in enemy territory is a mainstay in Putin's hidden war against the
West.'
Earlier this year German intelligence agencies warned of Putin's plan to destabilize the country through propaganda.
Now
Reitschuster says the intelligence he has seen suggests the new goals
are fomenting civil unrest, distorting democratic political processes
and 'conveying non-democratic ideals.'
In
January the intelligence services said the Kremlin was behind a false
report of a 13-year-old Russian girl called Lisa who claimed she was
raped in Berlin.

intelligence and elite WDW airborn troops, adding; 'This fighting force

Later
she admitted she made the story up - but not before ex-pat Russians had
taken to the streets and even protested outside Chancellor Angela
Merkel's office.
Russian Systema
self-defence schools in Germany act as 'camouflage for agent meetings,'
according to Reitschuster and 'are centres for recruiting new Kremlin
fighters.'
The author claims
European intelligence services have identified about 300 men in the
previous year Germany who are actively involved in the Systema
structures. Among those who have received special training in Moscow are
also soldiers, policemen, judicial employees and turncoat members of
the German police and elite forces GSG 9 and KSK who are 'known' to the
security services.
'These
saboteurs with elite education are no negligible factor - they are
targeted for crisis situations and trained to trigger unrest after
assessing intelligence documents,' he added.
The
Russian paramilitaries, he claimed, now hold 'real manouvres in the
Swiss mountains, operate across borders and are particularly strong in
Czech Republic where they mostly exercise.'
Reitschuster
says the recruits, who can be activated at a moment's notice, all
receive Russian passports and receive training in sabotage and handling
explosives.
