26:02Now PlayingGermany is reckoning the with the results of regional elections that have many questioning whether German history is rearing its ugly head.
For the first time since Nazi rule, right-wing extremists have won a regional election in Germany - in the small eastern state of Thuringia.
The Alternative for Germany party (AfD) also came in second place in neighboring Saxony. Other populists also snapped up votes by promising to stop immigration and arms deliveries to Ukraine.
So what does this mean for the future of Europe's largest economy, and its relation to the world?
This week on To The Point we’re looking at "The rise of the far-right. Is Germany at a tipping point?"
Our guests:
Wolfgang Merkel, Political scientist.
Matthew Karnitschnig, POLITICO's chief Europe correspondent.
Nadine Lindner, correspondent in Deutschlandradio’s Berlin bureau.
