Trial over Nazi music: Record covers show Adolf Hitler and symbols of the SS | Regional

Lüneburg (Niedersachsen) – He hides his face behind a specialist magazine for record collectors. The music on the LPs, which Lasse K. (34) himself and four of his accomplices are said to have produced, was not intended to put people in a good mood. The songs called for hatred, violence and murder!

The five men (aged 34 to 54) are accused of forming a criminal organization. They are said to have produced and sold at least 28,000 recordings containing Nazi chants and hate slogans over a period of five years, earning more than 285,000 euros.

The reading of the charges alone took almost four hours. The representatives of the public prosecutor’s office described in detail the design of the record covers. They showed Wehrmacht soldiers with swastika armbands, photos of Adolf Hitler, SS symbols, and logos of the banned right-wing extremist organization FAP.

The recordings had titles such as “The Reich is coming back,” “The worst thing is,” and “Savior of Germany.” The prosecutors also quoted the most disgusting song lyrics. One song calls for the killing of politicians: “Let’s murder them.”

People with dark skin are insulted as monkeys. Many songs deny the Holocaust and stir up hatred against Jews. One of the songs is called “The asylum is burning.” Another: “10 poor refugees.”

On the next day of the trial (14 August), the defendants will be able to comment on the allegations. A total of 25 trial days are planned.
