01 July 2003

A memorial march organised by the fascist Daenemarkse Nationale Socialistiske Bevaegegelseto commemorate the death of Rudolf Hess turned into an international flop as a mobilisation of nazi organisations across Europe could only muster 138 people. Organisations attending included the FAP from Germany and Combat 18 from the UK. The embarrassment of a low turnout was exacerbated as anti-fascists joined with the local community to disrupt the march. The Hess memorial march has become one of the most important international nazi meeting points after the Diksmuide gathering. The first marches called in Germany mobilised more than two thousand people but a combination of local and national government action eventually forced the event to take place outside Germany. NN, 14.9.95.
