Germanys New Right Party What It Stands For
In early March 1966 West German Interior Minister Paul Jacke flagged a rise in neo Nazi and anti semitic incidents, pointing to the National Democratic Party as a hidden neo Nazi front. The party denies neo Nazi aims, claiming to back the national constitution while avoiding overt Nazi symbols and anti Semitism. Adolf Von Thadissen, its leader, vows to revive the German nation and criticizes American dollar diplomacy, saying crime and sex emerge from the United States wild west.

The campaign of Vice President Hubert Humphrey gains strength as he rejects alarmist politics and presents a disciplined, experienced image. He benefits from Johnsons withdrawal, distances himself from Viet Nam entanglements, and relies on nonprimary states and party loyalty to win the nomination.
