Left-Extremist Endeavours

Agitation against the
principle of democracy
German historical research is not allowed to deal with these
matters, and that those who do so nevertheless, are the
victims of merciless persecution by the System and by a
political judiciary system ...."

In "Deutsche Stimme", the right-extremist journalist Jürgen
SCHWAB 60) reviewed revisionist agitation and concluded that the
constitutionally guaranteed freedom of science and research
which, due to censorship laws, was no longer ensured in this
field of contemporary history in the FRG and elsewhere, could
only be restored through the reversal of the political power system

On the occasion of the 50 th anniversary of the Basic Law, the
NPD organ "Deutsche Stimme" contended:
"50 years after the proclamation of the provisional Basic Law,

and the GDR has taken place in the meantime - has not yet
been legitimized by a plebiscite. And today's Enlarged FRG is
just as far away from German sovereignty as it was at the

aggression against Serbia shows that the German licensee
