AfD Wreath Sparks Bonhoeffer Descendant Outrage | San Francisco News
Description
At a Berlin memorial for the failed 1944 Hitler assassination plot, a Bonhoeffer descendant clashed with security over an AfD wreath, sparking outrage among family members. The AfD, now Germany’s top opposition party, denies extremism while vying for its first state governorship. Though they placed the wreath, no AfD members were confirmed at the event. The drama echoes July 20, 1944, when Stauffenberg’s bomb attempt failed and Bonhoeffer was executed. Meanwhile, Stauffenberg’s grandson insists AfD should be allowed to honor history—even if it’s controversial—under democratic principles.
