If you can't receive KZNA at its reduced power, you can listen via the digital stream directly above or on the HPPR mobile app. For questions please contact station staff at (800) 678-7444 or by emailing hppr@hppr.org

German Town Uses Neo-Nazi March For Its Benefit

Published November 18, 2014 at 6:48 AM CST

STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep.

A German town decided that when it comes to neo-Nazis, if you can't beat 'em, repurpose them. Nazi groups have marched for years through the town where one of Hitler's aides is buried. Residents could not stop the annual march so they had it sponsored. Local companies pledged cash. For every mile the Nazis marched, companies donated to a support group for neo-Nazis who want out. The marchers didn't know until they saw signs thanking them for their help. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
