DRESDEN, Germany — Thousands of protesters formed a human chain in Dresden on Saturday, determined to stop neo-Nazis from exploiting the German city’s painful history on the 65th anniversary of its deadly Allied bombing in World War II.
Heavy security including riot police was in place to prevent clashes between the two groups, and five police helicopters flew overhead to monitor the crowds. There were some minor skirmishes, with a car flipped over and some barricades set ablaze but quickly extinguished. There were up to 30 arrests in all, including demonstrators from both sides. Most of the far-right supporters later left Dresden without incident.
