The singer and NPD activist Frank Rennicke paid another visit to Austria in 2000. He was the guest of the ultra-right study group Arbeitsgemeinschaft für demokratische Politik (AFP) and the Olympia fraternity, to which FPÖ member of parliament Martin Graf also belongs. While the authorities tolerated Rennicke’s performance at the meeting of the Olympia fraternity, on 17 June 2000, they tried to arrest him at the 35th “political academy” meeting of the AFP. His tapes were confiscated, but Rennicke managed to escape. In the meantime, he has been sentenced in Germany (see Germany).

[edit] This article is not neutral

I am German. And I can assure everybody that most Germans approve our goverments actions against racist&antisemtic&right-extremist people like Rennicke.

[edit] POV

His music clearly does not "pulls at the heart strings of most Germans when they hear it for the first time". Most Germans, if they even heard about him, think of him as a racist and nazi.

I have edited the article and removed obvious opinions from it regarding how Germans feel when they listen to the song. Lets hope the article stays to facts.

[edit] Unsourced

This is unsourced and does not appear in the German article:

"On October 16, 2002, Frank Rennicke and his wife Ute were sentenced to 17 and 5 months in prison, respectively, for the lyrics of Rennicke's song "Madagaskar", and Ute's refusal to dissociate herself from Rennicke's music." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lfh (talk • contribs) 16:06, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
