20 November 2014<\/a>) \u2013 but did not use the opportunity to correct her false statements from last time.<\/p>\nThe Zsch\u00e4pe defense triggered a rather long discussion by objecting to a question by victim\u2019s counsel Alexander Hoffmann: The witness, who together with her husband had played in the band \u201cAEG\u201d, claimed that that band had had nothing to do with \u201cBlood & Honour\u201d. Hoffmann questioned this statement and asked who had produced \u201cAEG\u201d\u2019s music. The defense claimed that this question had nothing to do with case at hand \u2013 despite it being a rather obvious question concerning Probst\u2019s believability. Equally obvious is that Probst\u2019s testimony is of some importance for the proceedings, after all other witnesses had related concrete acts of support provided by her to \u201cthe Three\u201d as well as attempts by Probst to militarize the scene. But then again, the Zsch\u00e4pe defense obviously has no interest in countering the strategy of lies and trivialization employed by all Nazi witnesses from Chemnitz, of uncovering further details concerning the support provided to the NSU by the broader Nazi scene. The same apparently applies for the federal prosecution, which again lent its support to the defense, as well as for a few victims\u2019 counsel who did the same today. The court \u2013 naturally \u2013 overruled the objection, the witness answered the question. The defense continued its attempts to torpedo the questioning by victims\u2019 counsel of this witness, who could after all relate some interesting details concerning the structure NSU\/\u201dBlood & Honour\u201d.<\/p>\n
Her testimony has once again shown that the strategy of silence and of a continuing bond with the accused is still followed by all witnesses from the scene. It also became apparent that in the years in question, all aspects of the life of this witness were connected with the Nazi scene: in her \u201cprivate\u201d life she organized Nazi concerts, her job was to sell Nazi CDS, videos, clothes and magazines, as concerns her family she was afraid that her children might have to play with \u201cnon-white\u201d children. The witness and the people around her lived in a \u201cnationally liberated zone\u201d and organized their lives according to the crude ideology of \u201cwhite supremacy\u201d. That people living in such a world also discuss the option of a \u201cracial war\u201d against immigrants is hardly surprising. Her testimony thus strengthens the testimony of informer Szczepanski, who had related that \u201eB&H\u201c Saxony had decided to support Zsch\u00e4pe, Mundlos and B\u00f6hnhardt, that Probst wanted to provide her passport to Zsch\u00e4pe and that Jan Werner tried to buy guns for them.<\/p>\n
At the end of the trial, victims\u2019 counsel brought a motion for evidence concerning a neo-Nazi who had told the police that he had met Mundlos and B\u00f6hnhardt once in Zwickau when visiting his brother and again at a later date shortly before the murder of Halit Yozgat and that he knew further members of their support network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
