Udo Voigt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Udo Voigt (born 1952 in Viersen) has since 1996 been the political chief of the National Democratic Party of Germany, a far-right political party, which he joined in 1968.
In 2005, Voigt compared the Bombing of Dresden in World War II to the Holocaust; some suggested this was a violation of Germany's laws on Holocaust denial, but the Hamburg public prosecutor deemed the comment an exercise of free speech and declined to prosecute.
