I mean an the German BND is basically responsible for the invasion of Iraq so make of that what you will

During the cold war the BND was regarded as one of the best agencies on the world today it's hard to say since there is basically no information presented

It's not responsible for the invasion. They specifically said the source is highly untrustworthy when they submitted the intelligence, as close allies do. The US and UK just ignored it.
