Dresden Anniversary
This year’s event was organized by a group known as the Junge Landsmannschaft Ostdeutschland, supported by the NPD. The far-right marchers totaled around 6,000, according to police, about a thousand more than gathered in 2005, on the 60th anniversary of the bombing.
Many in the far-right scene call the widespread destruction in Dresden a "Holocaust," and attempt to paint Germany as a victim of the war. The firebombing killed an estimated 25,000 people, mostly civilians, and wiped out the city center.
Eyewitnesses on Saturday said several hundred leftists who objected to the far-right procession tried to attack neo-Nazi participants, hurling bottles at the police cordon and damaging parked cars. Witnesses said several people were injured, although police have not confirmed this.
Clashes between left-wing and far-right groups are common on the anniversary. This year, police forces numbered around 4,000, some brought in from neighboring states.

右翼はドレスデンのホロコーストと呼称し、ドイツを戦争の被害者として語ろうとし、６０００人規模の人員を動員、行進、それに抗議する左派がこれまた終結、抗議、警察が４０００人動員された、という。
靖国参拝どころの話ではない。
NYTはこの件については報道したのだろうか？
