It shows the right-wing demonstrators in brown - the colour most associated with Nazism, whilst counter protest routes are shown in orange. The app is a collaboration between Berlin's city government and the Association for Democratic Culture in Berlin. “It also lets you know where there are planned protests against these demonstrations so users can show their faces in solidarity with refugees, against racism and against anti-Semitism," says Jessica Zeller, project manager at Berlin Against Nazis, as quoted by The Global Post.

Gegen Nazis (Against Nazis) is a free app that informs people where and when right-wing extremist demonstrations and counter-protests are taking place. Making this fight against right-wing extremism that has engulfed Germany easier is a new smartphone/tablet app. The biggest anti-Pegida protest thus far was in the city of Munich, drawing 12,000 people under the banner “Make space – Refugees are welcome”. On the other side, counter-protests are also seeing a rise. Far-right groups are mushrooming across Germany, gaining numbers and support. The group has grown rapidly since its emergence in October, with this latest protest on Monday seeing the biggest crowds yet, upto 17,000 from a previous high of 15,000 last week. Pegida supporters however, insist that they are not Nazis, but patriots protesting against Germany’s broken immigration and asylum system.

Then, as now, the pro demonstrations have been met with counter demonstrations as marchers raise the slogan “Dresden Nazi-free” and reiterating that there is no place for racism and xenophobia in the country that witnessed the Holocaust. Two weeks ago, Dresden had made the news when 14,000 people joined the latest in a string of demonstrations organised by Patriotic Europeans Against Islamisation of the West. One such pro-rally in Dresden on Monday drew an astonishing 18,000 people. Rallies by supporters and opponents of a group campaigning against what it sees as the "Islamisation" of Europe have been held across Germany. Meanwhile, in the cows’ native Germany, concern has grown over the resurgence of the far-right and neo-nazism. When the Germans were selecting them to create this animal they used Spanish fighting cattle to give them the shape and ferocity they wanted,” Gow added. “The reason the Nazis were so supportive of the project is they wanted them to be fierce and aggressive. There was a thinking around that time that you could selectively breed animals for Aryan characteristics, which were rooted in runes, folklore and legend,” he said. Gow added that the breed of cows were “by far and away the most aggressive animals I have ever worked with.” The British farmer added that the Nazi’s selective breeding program was “truly primeval.” “Importing the cattle has been an interesting project for us – they have such an unusual history. Dealing with that was not a lot of fun at all,” he added.
“The ones we had to get rid of would just attack you any chance they could. “We have had to cut our herd down to six because some of them were incredibly aggressive and we just couldn't handle them,” Gow said. Gow has been quoted explaining his decision to cull the herd. After the defeat of Nazism, however, large numbers of the Hecker super cows were destroyed. The experiment was incredibly successful and the cattle widely featured in Nazi propaganda.
The breed, known as Hecker super cows, were originally developed in the 1920s and 30s by German zoologist Heinz and Lutz Heck, who were commissioned by the Nazis to create a special breed of cow based on an extinct type of wild cattle called aurochs.The breeding of the Hecker super cow involved the extraction of “wild” genes from the descendants of the wild cows and breeding them with regular livestock. The cows were imported in 2009 by Derek Gow to his farm in Broadwoodwidger, west Devon.
NEW DELHI: A British farmer who farms the only herd of Nazi-engineered cows in the country has been compelled to cull the number of his herd after they became too aggressive and tried to attack his staff.
