Political views

Helferich called himself a "democratic Freisler", referring to a Nazi-era judge. [8] He later said that his statements were meant as parody: "If you are confronted with Nazi accusations as frequently as AfD politicians, you compensate for that in private spheres. You ridicule it." [9] [10] [11]
