Npd Chief Says Party Has Made Contacts in Britain, France and U.S.

National Democratic leader Von Thadden said yesterday his party has established contacts with sympathetic politicians in Britain, France and the U.S., though he refused to name them. He spoke at the close of the NPD’s pre-election congress in Stuttgart after 600 delegates unanimously approved a Nazi-like platform and cheered speakers who exhorted Germans to stop feeling guilty over the country’s World War II deeds. Mr. Von Thadden said he had “opened contacts” with two members of the British Parliament in the interests of the NPD’s “democratic image.” He said that “political friends” in France, including some members of Parliament, had helped the NPD approach Government authorities in Paris and that the NPD had also succeeded in approaching “important American politicians.”
