Welcome to Magdeburg in eastern Germany, the capital of Saxony Anhalt.

This state will hold elections on Sunday and if the polls are correct, the AFD or Alternative for Germany Party could get over forty percent and a working majority.

It would hand power to a far-right party in Germany for the first time since the fall of the Nazis.

The party’s rise comes at a time of growing economic malaise, fears about migration and a reassessment of German history.
