Virtually everywhere they campaign, the scene is the same: Helmeted police, chanting, angry demonstrators, occasional scuffles, the din of derisive "Sieg Hell" and "Nazis out!" Not since the 1920s, when the Nazis were reaching for power, has a German political party provoked so much tumult and violence as the far-right, ultranationalist National Democratic Party. Chancellor Kiesinger, admitting that the N.P.D. is not purely neo-Nazi, describes it as "extremely harmful." Judging from the intensity of the oratory directed against the N.P.D., there are times when it sounds as if it were the party in power...
...Thadden vehemently denies that he or his party is neo-Nazi. His own background is impeccable. As far as is known, he was not a member of the Nazi Party, and his distinguished Prussian Junker family was active in the anti-Hitler resistance (a half-sister was executed by the Nazis in 1944). He is not a rabble-rouser by any means: he speaks forcefully but with little passion, devoting much of his speeches to denying charges of Nazism. When hecklers interrupt, he either rebuffs them with sarcasm or stands coolly by, purling on a cigarette, until the ruckus dies...
...that, the beefy Ordner (order keepers) at N.P.D. rallies remind all too many Germans of Nazi storm troopers.

He advocates German reunification, a greater German voice in NATO, and tough measures against criminals and protesters. The N.P.D.'s slogan: "Security Through Law and Order." Goodly numbers of Germans share some of these sentiments, but they shrink from Von Thadden for fear of Nazism...
...mistress. Speer's plea for women workers was vetoed by Hitler, at Martin Bormann's suggestion, on the grounds that it would keep them from producing good Aryan offspring. Half a million Ukrainian girls were brought into Germany instead, to become servants in the homes of Nazi functionaries...
Died. Erika Mann, 63, German-born daughter of Novelist Thomas Mann, her self a highly regarded author noted for her powerfully anti-Nazi writings in the 1930s; of a brain tumor; in Zurich, Switzerland. Like her Nobel prizewinning father, Miss Mann was quick to speak out against Hitlerism, in 1933 was forced to flee Germany after writing and producing a satirical anti-Nazi revue, The Pepper mill. Beginning in 1936, she frequently traveled in the U.S., where she scathingly attacked the Nazis in School for Barbarians, Escape to Life and The Lights Go Down...
