Luther decided to exclude the O.T. books which were written in Greek, and he was followed by other Protestants, but for a long time these books were bound between the O.T. and the N.T. in Protestant editions and called the Apocrypha.

It's probably better that you get your "history" lessons from those who know the truth about that. Here's good place to start: Luther and the Canon. Luther excluded NO books from his German translation of the Bible. In fact, he translated them and included them in the same kind of section Jerome did before him.

Well boat

They aren’t there now.

Did somebody remove them when Luther wasn’t looking?

When do you think they were removed?

I don’t need any help on the subject.

The nonsense that the Septuagint wasn’t accepted because it was translated from the Greek and those 7 books weren’t in the Hebrew Scripture, completely fell apart with the Dead Sea scrolls, containing those 7 books.

Luther DID in fact exclude the books containing material he didn’t like.
