Today\u2019s witness war Andr\u00e9 Kapke, an extremely violent-prone neo-Nazi as shown already by his criminal record. From the mid-1990s, Kapke was one of the closest confidants of Ralf Wohlleben, Holger Gerlach and \u201cthe Three\u201d. He was accompanied by his lawyer Waldschmidt, a functionary of the neo-fascist NPD from Hesse. <\/p>\n
Kapke did everything he could to spare Zsch\u00e4pe and Wohlleben \u2013 when asked about Zsch\u00e4pe\u2019s political positions, he claimed to only remember discussions concerning nuclear power and the nuclear waste disposal site in Gorleben. Reactions in the courtroom showed that nobody believed this claim \u2013not victims\u2019 counsel, not members of the court. The same reaction was engendered by his attempts to describe Ralf Wohlleben as \u201cangel of peace\u201d of the Nazi scene in Jena.<\/p>\n
Kapke generally tried to depict his comrades and himself as victims of leftist activists and the police. Asked about the ideology of the \u201cKameradschaft Jena\u201d or the \u201c\u201cThuringia home guard\u201d or about his own role, both before and after \u201ethe Three\u201c went underground, he claimed not to be able to recall much of anything. Later, a sentence slipped out which showed his true ideology: asked about the \u201cforeigner politics\u201d of the Nazi scene in Jena, he answered \u201cif you try to get rid of pest plants, you don\u2019t just plug two or three leaves, you attack the root.\u201d<\/p>\n
This was followed by further gaps in his memory. Presiding judge G\u00f6tzl became more and more exasperated \u2013 as were most of the others present in the courtroom. The presiding judge finally interrupted Kapke\u2019s testimony at 4 in the afternoon. Kapke will continue to testify on the last day before the Christmas break.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
