BNP attend neo nazi rally for a violent protest.

Several high ranking officials of the BNP attended the protest in germany
Scuffles have broken out between the BNP and their opponents during rival protests marking the 65th anniversary of the Dresden bombing in Germany.There was a heavy police presence to try to keep the two groups apart - as around 5,000 neo-Nazis gathered to take part in a march to commemorate those killed in the Allied attack on the city.
Across the Elbe River, some 10,000 people took part in a rival demonstration.
They joined hands to create a human chain symbolically protecting the restored city centre from the far-right supporters.

In the end, police did not allow the neo-Nazi march to go ahead for security reasons and the demonstration was limited to a rally.
About 5,000 police officers had been brought in from across the country to help stop trouble.
And five police helicopters flew overhead to monitor the crowds.
But there were some skirmishes and officers said several people were injured, including some who were hit by rocks.
A number of barricades were also set on fire - but they were quickly put out.
At Dresden's Neustadt station, where trains packed with Jews departed for the Auschwitz concentration camp, several hundred neo-Nazis, clad all in black, gathered.
Some held pre-war German flags and a voice shouting "Strength and Honour" blasted out of loudspeakers.
The protests were remembering German victims of the Allied air raid that flattened the city in 1945 towards the end of World War Two.

The attacks, by British and US bombers, used incendiary bombs which created an inferno that ripped through streets, and burned people and buildings.

Neo-Nazis have caused outrage by comparing the 1945 bombing of the city to the Holocaust
