Berlin — A video circulating this week on social media shows people celebrating Oktoberfest near the East German town of Bautzen, in Saxony, seemingly giving the salute associated with Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime. Police in Saxony and the State Security Service have launched investigations.
Police were alerted to the video circulating on the platform X, formerly known as Twitter, a spokesman confirmed.
Three men and a woman in traditional Oktoberfest costumes can be seen in the video, shot on Sept. 24, seemingly giving the Hitler salute several times. In the background, the marching song "Erika" can be heard playing, which was popular among the military forces of Nazi Germany.
On Sept. 22, just a couple days before the video in Bautzen was shot, five youths in the larger city of Chemnitz, also in Saxony, gave the Hitler salute on a street and chanted "Heil Hitler."
Investigations were launched into the suspected use of symbols of unconstitutional organizations.
Parts of Saxony have seen a political shift to the right in recent years, with nationalist tendencies growing.
