The Report on the Protection of the Constitution provides information on the nature and scope of anti-constitutional developments, on organisations and groupings pursuing activities that are directed against the free democratic basic order, on espionage against Germany, and on proliferation. The individual events have been analysed and evaluated under ideological and strategic aspects.
