Danish National Socialist Party Leader Given Eleven Days
Kolding, Denmark -- Jonni Hanson, leader of the Danish National Socialist Party, was arrested and sentenced to eleven days in jail for assaulting a police officer after rioting broke out in the town of Kolding, Denmark during a rally to commemorate German Third Deputy Chancellor Rudolf Hess.
Hess was arrested during a peace mission to Britain in 1940, despite diplomatic immunity, and held in prison until his death on August 17, 1987.
Sixty people, mostly communist and Jewish counter demonstrators, were arested in Kolding after several hundred National Socialists marched through the town to remember the efforts the Third Reich made for peace in Europe and the brutal war policy of the Allies that led to the Second World War's devastation. Germany repeatedly attempted peace treaties with Britain and France in 1939 and 1940, before destroying France and capturing Paris later that year.
Approximately 50 Germans were detained attempting to cross the border into Denmark to join the rally.
Unlike Germany, Denmark does not ban National Socialism or displays of the swastika
