On a wet evening in Suhl, in the former East Germany, a smattering of youthful faces were among hundreds lining up to hear from an unlikely idol - Björn Höcke, one of the most controversial figures in the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.
Also this is Saxony, a far right castle. There are 15 other states. A little hasty to use this as interpolation for whole country.
But sad truth to be told, the AfD engages younger folks on social media quite effectively.
