Star Ledger, 18 August 1997

FRANKFURT, Germany - Neo_nazis marking the 10th anniversary of Rudolf Hess' death clashed with protesting leftists, prompting the arrests of more that 400 people throughout the country. Three police officers were injured in Munich.

Most of the arrests reported yesterday took place Sunday as thousands of police spread out to check cars and buses carrying suspected radical rightists to Hess ralies, which were banned in most of Germany.

Officials say Hess, Hitler's deputy, commited suicide in Berlin's Spandau prison on August 17, 1987. His family however, claims he was murdered.
