German football fans detained in Austria for Nazi-like chants
By The Associated Press
Tags: Germany, Austria, Euro 2008

Police detained about 100 hooligans Sunday for shouting Nazi-like slogans during Germany's European Championship match against Poland.

About 60 people were detained at first, then a second group of 40 was taken into custody later, according to police.

There were no reports of violence against police, but the Austria Press Agency said several German and Polish fans clashed briefly in Klagenfurt's largest fan zone after Germany took a 1-0 lead. Germany won the game 2-0.

Police encircled the first group in downtown Klagenfurt after they began shouting slogans such as, "All Poles have to wear a yellow star" - an allusion to the yellow star that Jews were forced to display in parts of Europe controlled by Nazi Germany and its allies.

Members of the second group were arrested, according to police, after they began shouting similar slogans, among them: "Germans protect yourselves. Don't buy anything from Poles" - again an allusion to warnings during the Nazi era, when Germans and Austrians were told to boycott Jewish stores.

The Austria Press Agency said those detained would be charged with disturbing the peace and expelled from Austria.
