Germany: Alfred Schaefer and Sylvia Stolz: Augsburg: Police prevent Holocaust denier from speaking

(005320.38-:E-003569.93:N-HO:R-SU:C-30:V)   

On Saturday, the “Friends of Alfred Schaefer” invited people to a lecture with the well-known German-Canadian Holocaust denier. Originally, a 99-year-old was supposed to report on his time in the SS division that day. One was prevented by the police, the other was probably a fall. On site, Schaefer probably provoked another investigation.

No cell phones, no press, no Antifa, no social media posts. With the usual precautionary measures, the scene invited people to a lecture event “in the Augsburg area” on Saturday afternoon. Entrance fee: 15 euros.

According to a press release from the Swabia North police headquarters, the emergency services there had an idea where the group wanted to meet and checked a corresponding group in a restaurant in the Lechhausen district of Augsburg around 3 p.m. The group is said to have included around 30 people, young and old. The event was not canceled. However, there was a solution: a 69-year-old, most likely speaker Alfred Schaefer, had violated a court order by participating, according to the police. He was therefore expelled, as was a 41-year-old who was carrying an item prohibited by weapons law. All other people were released after the check.
It shouldn’t have been difficult to guess what the content should have been about given the two people announced as speakers.

Extermination of the “Kikes”

On the one hand, Schaefer, who had been creating videos of this kind for several years and repeatedly made himself punishable by making forbidden gestures and speeches about the Shoah. The report on his conviction for comments made at a 2017 rally by Middle Franconian Holocaust denier Gerd Ittner said Schaefer had "wallowed" in details of atrocities that the Nazis were allegedly wrongly accused of. At a rally in Nuremberg in 2018 for Shoah deniers who had just been imprisoned, including Schaefer’s sister Monica, he showed the Hitler salute and probably spread encouragement to like-minded people that there was a debate in America about the extermination of the "Kikes", a slang word for Jews. Despite other obvious crimes, including those committed by the Upper Franconian Marianne Wilfert, who has now been convicted several times, the meeting was not broken off.

In the run-up to the neo-Nazi scene’s events last year around the anniversary of the bombing of Dresden, he denied the Shoah in a live stream and was arrested the following day in the vicinity of the demonstration.

Sylvia Stolz as another speaker

According to the police, on Saturday a 69-year-old provoked an investigation on suspicion of sedition through his statements on site. It is probably again about Schaefer, the Holocaust denier who is in need of information and incorrigible.

The second speaker was Sylvia Stolz, who had also already served a prison sentence because of corresponding statements and had temporarily lost her license to practice law. She was last in court about a year ago because she had also denied the Holocaust in letters to her tax office. The trial ended in an acquittal because the public dissemination necessary for a conviction for sedition was lacking.

Autograph cards on offer

The planned lecture by Stolz and Schaefer was, in turn, a replacement event for a meeting with a member of the Nazi experience generation that had actually been planned for that day and location. On the same day, same time and again in the “Augsburg area”, a 99-year-old was supposed to report on his time with the SS division “Das Reich”. The Untersturmbannführer was accepted because of his “good performance in a NAPOLA school” and fought on both the Western and Eastern Fronts, the announcement said, confusing history. Books and autograph cards should be offered for sale on site, according to the invitation signed “H.N.M Pongratz”. The entry fee should be transferred to a Swiss account beforehand.

The description was almost identical to the blurb of the book by Gerhard Femppel. The age also matches. Femppel, who also took part in meetings with US veterans, was born in Stuttgart in 1925. His book is available via Amazon and neo-Nazi mail order companies, so it should have the orientation desired by historical revisionists. But nothing came of the lecture. It is with great regret that the event had to be canceled, according to the “Friends of Alfred Schaefer”. The speaker “probably suffered a broken femur” in his apartment. Both the invitation and the reason for the rejection cannot be independently verified.

Update April 29th

The organizers say that Sylvia Stolz was able to give her lecture after the police operation. In addition, the “Alfred Schaefer Circle of Friends” announced that it had allegedly dissolved on Monday.
