In his first source he cited, there were under 30,000 prisoners overall as 'total number of prisoners per year', which could just indicate the TOTAL PRISON POPULATION OF GERMANY OVERALL, NOT THE INFLOW AND OUTFLOW here...

Yet his second source states 200,000-250,000 political prisoners overall (not per year), sourced by the Deustcher Bundestag, which is West Germany's parliament speaking....
