Leaders of the neo-Nazi National Democratic Party, fourth largest to enter the West German elections to be held next Sunday, visited yesterday the graves of the Nazi war criminals executed after the Nuremberg trials, in Landsberg. At the cemetery, Franz Winter, a party organizer, said that “while the world thinks of Auschwitz and Belsen, nobody visits these graves here.” The party has put up 500 candidates, and claims to have 12,000 paid-up members. Its better known adherents include a number of well-known neo-Nazis.
