Beate Zschaepe, 38, is accused of being part of the National Socialist Underground (NSU), which killed 10 people, mostly of Turkish background.

She denies the murder charges. After entering court, she stood with folded arms and turned her back on the camera.

The case sparked controversy as police wrongly blamed the Turkish mafia.

The head of Germany's domestic intelligence service was eventually forced to resign over the scandal. It also emerged that intelligence files on far-right extremists were destroyed after the cell's activities came to light.

For some time there have been allegations of sympathy for far right groups like the NSU among German authorities, a willingness to turn a blind eye to their activities that has allowed them to prosper and grow. Hopefully one outcome of the trial will be to root those people out.

1. Turned her back on the camera, eh?

Maybe the court should administer a little jack-booted Nazi justice to her. You know, to make her feel more at home.

You would think after WWII that all Germans would have learned what happens when you get sucked in by an ignorant, hateful, loser movement. I think most Germans have learned that lesson. But these "superior" beings persist in their delusion and populate, like cockroaches, the darker corners of German society. Here's hoping that the organization has been busted and destroyed by the arrests of this Nazette (?) and her stumble-bum buddies.

2. Sadly, the politics of hate and fear never go out of style

and it's so easy to point to this group or that group as the reason why the economy is struggling or why jobs are scarce...

3. Hope she's properly punished

Ugly, disgusting and dangerous woman.
