The picture shows what appears to be an AfD campaign car decorated with the official party logo and pictures of candidates parked at an outdoor festival with a front license plate that reads “AH 1818”. Some seemed shocked that such a license plate combination would be allowed. Vice also points out that this isn’t the first time the party in Leipzig has been caught connected to neo-Nazi symbols. Last year social media also reacted strongly to a picture of an AfD campaign car with the license plate “L-GD 3345”, which people said stood for “Großdeutschland 1933-1945”, or Greater Germany 1933-1945.
