22. German newspapers reported over 200,000
Germans are not inclined to exaggerate when it comes to numbers. They are very precise. The crowd filled the Street of the 17th of June from the Victory Column almost to the Brandenburg Gate according to German newspapers. The papers are online.

5. An article I read this morning said the Germans were preparing for a million
If the MSM is reporting 100,000, then we can pe pretty sure that the nimbers are approximately 10 times that.

13. CNN choked out "Hundreds of Thousands"
and then reverted to 10s of thousands. Wow that was so massive it almost made me faint! And all those people who just wanted to have his hand brush over theirs. How beautiful. What a contrast to *'s reception! Oh to have an intelligent and caring leader.
