Clash over Germany's Nazi past as far right AfD poised for election breakthrough As Germany prepares for its state elections in Saxony Anhalt, a heated debate has erupted over the country's Nazi past and its role in shaping German identity.
The far right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party is poised to make significant gains in the region, fueled by its hardline stance on patriotism and proposals to overhaul the history curriculum.
The AfD's plan to downplay National Socialism in German history has sparked alarm among critics, who see it as an attempt to rewrite the past and erase the legacy of Nazi atrocities.
