A Frankfurt demonstration against the war in Vietnam, on March 27th, suffered from careful re-routing upon police instructions. The idea of the police was to shepherd the marchers outside the most crowded areas. To the surprise of the organisers, who expected a couple of hundred supporters, a thousand people turned out on the march. Although the police had forbidden placards which “one-sidedly condemned any of the parties to the Vietnam conflict,” the march was alive with condemnation of the U.S interventionists. Afterwards, at another demonstration at the U.S. consulate, numerous arrests were made. But Negro soldiers in the U.S. Occupation Army were impressed by those posters which read . “Get out of Vietnam: take care of Alabama.”
