Stauffenberg’s Grandson Condemns Comedian’s Remarks at AfD Event
Karl Graf von Stauffenberg, grandson of the World War II resistance figure Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg, has criticized comedian Uwe Steimle for comments made at an AfD event, which he claims trivialize the Nazi regime.
Steimle questioned the absence of Stauffenberg during a discussion about CDU leader Friedrich Merz, prompting Karl Graf von Stauffenberg to label the remarks as “historical distortion” and an affront to his grandfather’s legacy. The comments have led to an investigation by the Dessau-Roßlau public prosecutor’s office under Section 126 of the Penal Code, concerning public peace disturbances. Steimle’s controversial statements also included remarks about former Chancellor Angela Merkel, further igniting public discourse ahead of the upcoming state elections in Saxony-Anhalt.
