German general axed in Jewish row
From BBC News:

The head of Germany's special forces has been sacked for allegedly backing an MP who is accused of anti-Semitism. Defence Minister Peter Struck fired Brigadier General Reinhard Guenzel for apparently praising MP Martin Hohmann.

Mr Hohmann has caused a national row with comments comparing the actions of Jews in the 1917 Russian revolution with those of the Nazis. General Guenzel is said to have written to Mr Hohmann, praising his "courage".
