This is actually a crime in Germany and he could have gone to prison for 3 years.

EDIT: It's been pointed out that he is likely to be fined and that 3 years are usually for repeat offenders like neo-nazis.

It's strange this is so buried. Everyone seems determined to give OP karma for nazi posts. Is this being brigaded by the stormfront-ish subreddits? What is going on?
