West German leftists protesting a rally by Waffen SS veterans of World War II broke into court offices in Hamburg, smashing windows and throwing documents into the street. The protesters apparently were angry because the courts and city officials had not banned the rally, held by veterans of the combat branch of the SS, Adolf Hitler’s elite force. Later, demonstrators smashed windows at the Dutch Consulate in Hamburg. Officers said they thought the latter incident was related to the death in police custody of a Dutch demonstrator in Amsterdam.
