A 55-year-old man offered numerous weapons as well as objects and symbols from the Nazi era for sale at a flea market in Dortmund. Officers seized a machete, knives, daggers, firearms, ammunition and a bazooka, as well as more than a hundred items with symbols of unconstitutional organizations, police announced on Friday. The national socialist signs were visibly displayed for the flea market visitors. A witness alerted the police. An investigation was launched against the 55-year-old exhibitor from Wuppertal.
The firearms were mainly decorative weapons or weapons that had been rendered unusable.

The investigators also took a closer look at the car of the man, who is already known to the police for similar offenses.
