This Bundestag election will be the first, since the end of Nazi era in 1945, in which a far-right party enters the German parliament (AfD) - a trend we are seeing in many places in Europe.

Wrong: far-right parties won seats in the first three Bundestag elections.

I just checked the 1949, 1953 and 1957 German election results and was unable to discern same. Care to name 'em?
