This is terrible. Let me tell you something, the Landenpolizei (German police) are no joke and they're the same nationwide. When 9/11 happened I was living in Germany, Stuttgart to be exact, and they with the Military Police, had the 3 military installations there secured ASAP, which in Germany pretty much means it was done before you even thought about it. They had a tank posted outside USAREUR's front gate for at least 6 months. Yes, a tank. I actually have a couple of pictures of it sitting out there. They were diligent in working with the military in every aspect of security. I can only speak for where I was, but I'm certain the same was happening at every US military installation in Germany. 

 

Germans are very precise and methodical and I have no doubt they will figure this out. 

 

Thoughts and prayers to the families and friends of the victims and for those involved in getting the cowards who did this.
