At a German government ceremony marking the 81st anniversary of the failed July 20, 1944 assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler, Tobias Korenke — a great-nephew of executed theologian and resistance figure Dietrich Bonhoeffer — attempted to remove a wreath laid by the AfD (Alternative für Deutschland, Germany's far-right opposition party) at the Bendlerblock memorial in Berlin, where conspirators including Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg were shot on the night of the plot. Security personnel intervened, the wreath was damaged in the scuffle, and Korenke was removed from the event. The incident has reignited debate over whether a party widely described as having far-right extremist elements should be permitted to claim symbolic kinship with anti-Nazi resisters, with Stauffenberg's own grandson calling the AfD's participation "disgusting" while nonetheless arguing that banning a parliamentary party from laying a wreath would itself be undemocratic.
