The goal: have a player simulate an open wound in order to exploit an exemption to substitution rules that allows players who've already left the game to return in place of those too bloodied to continue.

Schall's picture on the party's posters - alongside shots of a florist, a pensioner and a student - is meant to celebrate Thuringia's diversity, despite the fact that the state is home to very few immigrants. "I was shocked by what the NPD did," he tells TIME in a statement. "I've never experienced anything like this, but I'm not going to give up. I love Thuringia...
