Specialist police are investigating after an ultra-left group claimed responsibility for the burning of dozens of Amazon and Deutsche Telekom trucks in Berlin this week.

100 firemen were deployed by the Berlin fire brigade to blazes in the Lichtenberg and Britz neighborhoods in early hours of Tuesday morning to tackle blazes apparently set amid large numbers of commercial vehicles, reports city newspaper BZ.

At both locations the fires, which started simultaneously several miles apart, were too well established by the time they were noticed and reported to be put out and the vehicles were totally destroyed. In all 19 Amazon delivery vans in a private Amazon compound and 17 Deutsche Telekom vans in a car park were burnt out.

Five further vehicles were damaged by flames leaping from the burning Amazon trucks at the compound location, Tageschau reports. The fires came as Amazon celebrated the opening of its new corporate headquarters in Berlin, the city’s tallest office tower where 3,000 Amazon staff are due to work.

The state security services are investigating the blazes because of the presumed political motivation for the arson. Indeed, the fires follow other such attacks in Berlin in recent days.

Last week in the early hours of Tuesday morning 23 Amazon delivery vans were burnt out in Brandenburg, Germany. Weeks before on May 1st, another 16 Amazon vans were burnt in the Wittenau neighborhood of Berlin.

Hours after Tuesday’s fire, a letter published to a prominent, infamous left-extremist scene bulletin board ‘Indymedia‘ claimed responsibility for the blazes, stating both Amazon and the state-owned Deutsche Telekom are legitimate targets because of their involvement with Israel and Germany’s police, intelligence services, and border controls.

In the statement, seen by Breitbart London, the anonymous ‘Antimilitarist’ author claimed “Both companies profit immensely from global militarization and the escalating wars” and that “Amazon’s servers and cloud services are used by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) to store the vast amounts of data obtained from mass surveillance of the Palestinian population.”

As for excusing the arson of vans belonging to Germany’s national telephone operator, they stated: “For the state and global military system to function, a highly complex technological infrastructure is needed. In Germany, this is operated and expanded by the state-owned Telekom… [which is a] supplier to border authorities, police, and intelligence services”.

They also decried Telekom for working with “pure fascist” Elon Musk’s Starlink, saying: “Starlink not only supports Ukraine and Israel with data in their military attacks – Musk also has the power to prevent those same attacks by not providing Starlink data.”

The group called on others who opposed war, “fascism”, and imperialism to launch their own attacks against the infrastructure which they say underpins those issues.
