Neo-Nazis Protest Exhibit on Army Crimes
Thousands of neo-Nazis marched through central Berlin to protest an exhibition on Nazi-era crimes by the German army, staging one of the largest far-right rallies in the city since World War II.
Police kept them well away from the capital’s former Jewish quarter after the proposed route drew outraged objections from the German government and Jewish groups at home and abroad.
Police estimated that 3,300 people participated in the protest, with 4,000 officers in place to prevent violence. Before the march, police broke up a counter-demonstration of about 1,500 people.
