Other facts from its more recent history. You heard about how Germany is sending refugees back to Afghanistan, and even denies their local support staffers (from pre-Taliban times) help? BND only two days (!) before the Taliban power grab diagnosed it would never happen, the Taliban wouldn't really be leaning into such a thing, no no no. Later on, BND coordinated with the Taliban government on how Germany would send them Afghanistan refugees, of course against their will. Hanning was involved.

Too many stories to tell.
Okay, one of my favourites: BND knew the whereabouts of Adolf Eichmann. They were actively hiding that from the Israelis, since they were worried an Eichmann trial would give away too much about the nazi career of German Kanzleramtsminister Hans Globke. BND even tried to meddle with the Eichmann trial once it started. (German state prosecutor Fritz Bauer helped the Israelis to find him, but he had to do this in secret, because, well..., the Germans spied on him.)
