The World : Neo-Nazis, Leftists Clash

At least 26 people were detained when neo-Nazis and leftists clashed during a rally in West Germany to commemorate the death two years ago of Rudolf Hess, Adolf Hitler’s deputy, police said. The disturbances broke out as about 200 neo-Nazis marched through the northern Bavarian town of Wunsiedel, where Hess is buried. About 110 leftists who had rallied in Wunsiedel earlier to denounce Nazis returned to confront the neo-Nazi march, screaming insults that led to clashes, a police spokesman said. Hess died on Aug. 17, 1987, at the age of 93 in Spandau prison in West Berlin, where he was serving a life sentence as a Nazi war criminal.
