Machine translation, like DeepL or Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.
Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article.

Group Otte, also called the Brunswick Group or Braunschweiger Gruppe,[1] was the name given to a group of five German neo-Nazis, by law enforcement, after the group's leader Paul Otte carried out two bombings on courthouses in 1977: one in Flensburg, another in Hanover.[2] The group targeted courts to intimidate and disrupt lawsuits against neo-Nazi groups.
Trial
Paul Otte, Volker Heidel, Oliver Schreiber, Wolfgang Sachse and Hans-Dieter Lepizien were tried in Braunschweig, Germany in 1980.[3] In 1981 all five members received prison sentences between three and six years.[4]
