Neo-Nazism is on the rise in West Germany and is becoming ever more violent, Interior Minister Friedrich Zimmermann said. “Numerous discoveries of weapons, ammunition and explosives prove the potential readiness of the militant right-wing extremists to use violence,” Zimmermann told a news conference in Bonn.
