Several hundred demonstrators took to the streets of Hamburg and the Lower Saxony town of Bad Nenndorf Saturday, in protest at extreme-rightwing activists, according to dpa. In Bad Nenndorf, a spa which neo-Nazis want to use as a rallying site, political activists, trades unionists and church members from across Germany took part in a counter-demonstration. After World War II, the town had housed a British interrogation centre. In 2006, neo-Nazi groups began holding marches to the Wincklerbad site where British forces had been based, using the events to play down Nazi crimes and to accuse the Allies of World War II atrocities. In Hamburg's St Pauli district, anti-Nazi campaigners gathered for a rally. Concerts, readings and contributions from local celebrities were planned.
