...Race," intoned Powell in a campaign speech, "is billed to play a major, perhaps a decisive part in the battle of Britain." In the campaign's closing week, Powell's racist utterings assumed a major role. Demonstrators shouting "Sieg Heiir picketed his rallies, and squads of skinheads in braces and "bovver" boots formed guards of honor for him. Undeniably, Powell's message had substantial appeal to blue-collar white Britons, who resent the intrusions of the Pakistani, West Indian, African and Indian immigrants...
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.

...home watching competing parades on TV. There were four in all, divided between West and East Berlin. In its typical out-of-step-with-the-times fashion, East Berlin held an old-fashioned military march-past. In Hamburg, Foreign Minister Willy Brandt was heckled by students and greeted with "Sieg Heil!" salutes...
