The AfD argues that remigration means deporting immigrants convicted of crime, but the term has been used by the extreme right to mean mass deportations.

The long-held assumption among the mainstream at home and abroad had been that Germany's dark past immunised it against any serious flirtations with the extreme right.

And there has been a so-called firewall in place since the end of World War Two - a cross-party consensus to keep the extreme right out of government.

Within those investigations, detectives focused on the extreme right spend an increasing amount of time dealing with young people who engage in a range of harmful activity, including sexual offences.

When you get to actual investigations by MI5, which is the UK's lead agency for counter terrorism, the figures change again, with the organisation's director general Ken McCallum saying last year that 75% relate to Islamist extremism and 25% to the extreme right.
