In the honey-yellow kitchenette, food was piled up under the upper cupboards. Egg cartons, milk cartons, chips, red wine. The hallway was full of boxes. Pallets of canned pea soup were stored in the basement, along with denatured alcohol and candles. A bathtub was filled to the brim with water that was already shimmering green. Investigators believe it was probably intended to serve as a drinking water reservoir. So here was the former AfD member of the Bundestag, Birgit Malsack-Winkemann, living in her terraced house in the Wannsee residential area of Berlin, waiting for day X.
