Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
German records answer to the Informationsfreiheitsgesetz (2005). Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
