An 83-year-old man attends a performance at the Leipzig Opera, suddenly stands up and gives a forbidden Nazi salute. The police are now investigating the man.

In the middle of an opera performance in Leipzig, an 83-year-old man made a Nazi salute, according to police. The man had attended a play on Friday evening that was about Germany in the 1920s and 1930s. When a swastika flag was shown on stage, the 83-year-old stood up and showed the "unconstitutional salute". Witnesses called the police and reported the man for using signs of unconstitutional organizations.
