On the persecution of (left-wing) political dissidents in Germany from the 1950s through the 1970s. This history is consistent with the behavior of the German judiciary during the recent lockdowns.
I used to think that freedom of speech and opinion in post-war Germany were essentially protected to the same degree as in the United States. It has become painfully clear that this is not at all the case (and apparently never was).
Through lack of commitment to these freedoms, German institutions make themselves an easy target for those who question their legitimacy.
