A West German court last week found its führer, rabble-rousing Otto Ernst Remer, guilty of slander; during last winter’s election campaign, Remer had accused Chancellor Konrad Adenauer’s administration of subservience to the Western democracies (“Adenauer \[is\] nothing but a receiving station for allied orders”). Sentence: four months in jail. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/archive/6795531/foreign-news-prison-for-a-f/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/archive/6795531/foreign-news-prison-for-a-f/"},"headline":"Foreign News: Prison for a F","datePublished":"1951-06-04T04:00:00.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-03T19:54:55.141Z","description":"With remarkable speed, the Bonn government cracked down on the Neo-Nazi Socialist Reich Party (TIME, May 21).
