Modern usage/legality of 'Nazi' in Germany?
Hi,
In modern-day Germany, what are the legal ramifications of calling someone else a Nazi? I assume it would be considered very offensive, much more serious than it is in the States where we are sadly loose with our insults, and I thought I had heard something about it being actually criminal to do so but I can't find confirmation of this or a mention of what the consequences, legally speaking, could be.
I've Googled such terms as 'punishment for calling someone (a) Nazi', 'usage of Nazi in modern Germany', 'crime to call someone a Nazi', 'illegal' 'Nazi' 'Germany', 'slander' 'modern Germany' 'Nazi', and many other permutations.
Thanks in advance!
