Excerpt:
Germany is undergoing its annual Führer furore, this time over a new survey suggesting that extreme-right views are on the rise.
Some 13 per cent of Germans in a new survey said they felt "Germany needs to be ruled with a firm hand by a strong leader or "Führer " – a term exclusively associated with Adolf Hitler.
Over a third of those surveyed agreed – either largely or whole-heartedly – with the statement that Germany was "endangered" by its non-German population.
Some 58 per cent supported limiting the religious rights of Muslims, while 15 per cent agreed that Jews "work with tricks to achieve their ends" and "are a particular people who aren't a good fit with us".
