Deutsche Telekom has reacted to an alleged earlier advertising slogan of the company against an assertion by the AfD politician Björn Höcke and examines legal steps. Höcke had claimed that Telekom used the sentence "Everything for Germany" a few years ago. Telekom referred to this claim as incorrect and initiated legal steps.

This sentence is a forbidden solution of the storm department (SA), the paramilitary fighting organization of the NSDAP. Due to the use of this slogan in a speech, Höcke will have to answer for the allegation of using indicators in Halle next week.

Telekom had already taken the AfD Federal Proterer Alice Weidel last year, after she too spread the wrong claim that the group used the sentence as an advertising slogan. Telekom had asked Weidel to refrain this statement and no longer spread it in the future.

Höcke defended his choice of words in the TV duel and claimed not to know during his speech that it was a SA slogan. He described the sentence as a "common saying". Deutsche Telekom and other affected people reject the wrong claims and sit down against the spread of such untrue information about the defense.
