Germany - YouTube criticized in Germany over Neo-Nazi clips

Video-sharing Web site YouTube has met with harsh criticism in Germany for hosting clips that incite racial hatred.

The videos hosted on YouTube include clips of a 1940 anti-Semitic propaganda film "Jud Suess" and two music videos of outlawed German far-right rock band Landser, which show footage from World War II depicting Nazi military operations.

Some of the material has been on the site for almost a year.
