Uninstall the third Reich remains

Even if Volkspond is cautious in its dealings with AFD members, the right -wing extremist party in Germany is explicit about its support for the group and its mission. On AFD, it is listed by a petition by its leader, Alice Widel, the group’s financing as one of its legislative priorities, as well as the creation of a “national day for life that has not yet been born” and a plan to prevent refugees in Ghazan from entering Germany. Jan-Vhillip Tadsen, a parliamentarian in AFD, in the northeast of McClaporg Fyerorne, told me that he is a donor from Volkspond and that he loves to put wreaths in his AFD ceremony.

Volkspond has supporters through the political spectrum: Many Volkspond officials spoke to them said that their largest political sponsors belong to the Christian Democratic Union, the right -wing party in Germany. One of the members of the Green Party, whom I called, told me that she supported the group because it strengthened peace and opposed the extreme right -wing extremism.

However, the possibility that the right -wing extremists will be that Volkspond is a source of concern for some, including its previous leadership. Marcus Michael, President of Volkspond until 2016, told me when I met him in Berlin: “I am afraid that this organization will be a great danger to be effective.” Michael, a former Protestant sponsor, grew up in East Germany, where the Communist regime refused to build the memorials of World War II because she was considered in support of its Nazi nature-a approach that Michael said he did not agree with him because he washed away difficult questions in history. When he came to the leadership of Volkspond in 2013, he said he was amazed at the group’s confirmation of the celebration. He said, “There was this position of” our poor children; Look at what happened to them in the battlefield.

Michael decided that he would carry out a repair project in Volkspond. After taking a look at the materials that are distributed by the group, most of them were not appropriate – for example, the celebration of the dead wehrmacht soldiers who told their lives, but they left any information about the crimes committed by German soldiers, or Christmas cards were sent to the families who donated and that told “sad stories from the Western Front.” The publications distributed by Volkspond focuses mainly on architecture. “But there was nothing about the war. Nothing about the reason for the soldiers even there,” he said. Michael posts are to stop so that they can be rewritten. Michael also told me that Volkspond staff focus almost exclusively on identifying German soldiers’ graves and ignoring civil remains.

A long time ago, the new president was looking at Volkspond resources. One of the concerns was that with every year, there were fewer widows of war who were still alive to make contributions, and the organization’s income was declining. But the disturbing is equal, Michael said, some of the remaining donors have very doubtful wallpapers. In one case, Meckel found that a major shareholder was actually a suspected organization that was founded by the veterans of SS. Michael told me that the group has now sent money through a charitable basis to hide Nazi financing links. “The question is: Who sponsors this?” He said.
