Manfred Roeder (6 February 1929 – 30 July 2014) was a German lawyer, Wehrmacht soldier, prominent Holocaust denier and a far-right activist. ==Life== Born in Berlin, Roeder attended a National Political Institute of Education in Plön.〔(„Porno-Anwalt“ als Größe der Neonazis ) ''Bergsträßer Anzeiger'', 7 July 2007. (Large pdf) 〕 As a teenage soldier, he participated of the Battle of Berlin in 1945.〔''Anti-Roeder-Arbeitskreis, NSDAP-Propagandisten unter der Lupe'' – Dokumentation, Hamburg 1978, p. 20 (German)〕 After the Second World War he was for a time a member of Germany's CDU party.〔 After leaving the party he forged ties with the far-right political scene in Germany and abroad, including the Ku Klux Klan.〔 Roeder's career has been marked by an abundance of criminal charges, including resistance against state authority,〔 and battery. In 1980 the ''Deutschen Aktionsgruppen'' ("German Action Groups"), a neo-Nazi organisation founded by Roeder, carried out attacks against buildings that housed foreign workers and asylum seekers.〔 Roeder was classified as a terrorist by German legal authorities as a result of these activities.〔(Bundeswehr will im Fall Roeder hart durchgreifen ) ''Die Welt'', 8 December 1997. 〕 In 1997 the current affairs program ''Panorama'' revealed that in 1995, Roeder had appeared, by invitation, as a speaker at the German military's officer training academy〔 in Hamburg. This scandal, as well as the fact that Roeder had received financial donations from the military, led to the sacking of the academy's commander〔〔(Rühe zieht Konsequenzen im Fall Roeder ) Rüdiger Moniac, ''Die Welt'', 9 December 1997. 〕 and the instatement of Rear-Admiral Rudolf Lange〔(Volker Rühe: Auf Kampfstation ) ''Focus'', 15 December 1997. 〕 as his replacement, with the goal of restoring the good reputation of the academy. In 1997 Roeder stood as the NPD candidate (a far-right party) for Stralsund in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern during the parliamentary elections,〔〔(Ein notorisch Rechtsextremer will nach Bonn ) Andreas Baumann, ''Die Welt'', 18 September 1998. 〕 promoting himself as "Chancellor alternative 1998", but was unsuccessful. Roeder died on 30 July 2014 at the age of 85. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Manfred Roeder」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
