Spiegel scandal: Der Spiegel publishes the article 'Bedingt abwehrbereit' ('Conditionally prepared for defense') about a NATO manoeuvre called 'Fallex 62', which uncovered the sorry state of the Bundeswehr (Germany's army) facing the communist threat from the east at the time. The magazine is soon accused of treason.
