In Germany, neo-Nazis get to march but threats are verboten

BERLIN (AP) — Given Germany's grim history as the home of National Socialism and the efforts it has made since then to atone for its genocidal past, it might seem surprising that far-right extremists who glorify a dead Nazi official are allowed to march in his honor this weekend. Police in Berlin have given far-right extremists permission to hold a 500-person strong rally commemorating the death of Adolf Hitler's deputy Rudolf Hess in the city's western district of Spandau. But there's a catch. Police have told organizers they can march, but they're not allowed to glorify Hess, who died at Spandau prison 30 years ago.
