It is absolutely true and your extra information is also correct. It is gradual, you are correct but still people that didn't know they were gonna have to pay tax got hit with it. And when they were told you should've been privately saving already. I know because I have relatives there who have to pay tax (though like you said not at 100%) and it is not pretty.

German courts have made it pretty clear that pension income that was taxed when paying must not be taxed again. The decision is from May so you might want to talk to your relatives about that topic again ;).
