OSTRITZ – Nearly 1,000 neo-Nazis and other far-right sympathisers are expected to fill the sleepy German town of Ostritz this weekend, as a similar number of anti-fascists are set to counter the far-right gatherings with a rally and festival of their own.

A placard reading "Thanks (to) Hitler!! There is nothing to celebrate..." and showing a historical World War II picture of dead people stands at the outskirts of Goerlitz, eastern Germany, on the road to Ostritz, on April 20, in a reaction of opponents to a planned neo-nazi festival near the Polish and Czech borders.
