And finally…I did Nazi see that coming
Stefan Jagsch, 30, was hospitalised last week after losing control of his vehicle and hitting a tree near Büdingen in Hesse.
Two vans carrying Syrian asylum seekers came across the scene before emergency services could respond.
Jagsch was removed from the car by two men who gave him medical treatment and passed on information about his condition on discovery to the authorities once they arrived.
The bizarre coincidence has captured nationwide interest in a country dominated by discussion of the refugee crisis.
Jagsch’s party, the far-right National Democratic Party of Germany (NPD) – which is facing calls to be banned by Germany’s constitutional court – has even credited the asylum seekers’ “humane deed”.
