Left-wing extremists claimed responsibility for the arson. They called the company "one of the beneficiaries of the so-called tipping point." This term (Zeitenwende) is used by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to describe the war in Ukraine.
The radicals believe that Rheinmetall is deliberately accumulating "various old types of tanks" that "can now be sold to Ukraine along with ammunition for a huge profit." Thus, "Rheinmetall plans, produces and kills not only on a national scale". German special services are investigating the arson and verifying the authenticity of the statement.
