Deutsche Telekom has rejected the statement by the AfD politician Björn Höcke about an alleged earlier advertising slogan of the company and is considering legal steps. Höcke claimed in a TV duel that Telekom used the sentence "Everything for Germany" a few years ago as an advertising say

The sentence mentioned is a forbidden solution of the storm department (SA), the paramilitary fighting organization of the NSDAP. For this reason, Höcke will have to answer for the allegation of using indicators in Halle next week before the district court in Halle.

Telekom had already intervened against AfD Federal Proterer Alice Weidel last year, who had made similar claims about the advertising saying. After requesting the company, Weidel agreed to refrain from this statements in the future.

Höcke, who works as a history teacher, defended his choice of words in the TV duel and emphasized that during his speech he did not know that it was a SA slogan. He described the sentence as a "common saying". However, Telekom continues to reject the allegations and reserves legal steps.
