AfD readmits two politicians excluded over Nazi-related remarks

After Sunday's election the far-right party has decided to allow Maximilian Krah and Matthias Helferich to return to the parliamentary group

Two politicians for the far-right Alternative fur Deutschland (AfD) who were sidelined over remarks they made relating to the Nazis have been welcomed back into its parliamentary group after the party's historic performance in the German general election.

Maximilian Krah resigned from the AfD's federal executive board before the European elections last June after telling an Italian newspaper that not all members of Adolf Hitler's SS had been automatically criminals".
