The event turned into the country’s most “involuntary walkathon”.
On 15 November, a group of neo-Nazis carried out their annual march through the town of Wunsiedel in east Germany.

The event attracts hundreds of people to the site where Rudolf Hess, Adolf Hitler’s deputy, was buried until 2011.

The inhabitants of Wunsiedel had previously watched the march from a distance, the Washington Post reported, but this year decided they'd had enough and took action in the most brilliant way.

The town turned the funeral march into “Germany’s most involuntary walkathon”.
Without the neo-Nazis’ knowledge, an initiative called Rechts gegen Rechts, Rights against Rights, created a scheme whereby for every metre the neo-Nazis walked, local residents and businesses would donate €10 to a programme aimed at making it easier for people to leave extreme right-wing groups.
