# "Keine neuen US-Raketen in Westeuropa!": peace manifestation, Halle

Two banners above a dense crowd read 'Bannt die Gefahr eines Atomkrieges! Keine neuen US-Raketen in Westeuropa!' and 'Gegen NATO-Waffen Frieden schaffen!' The danger of nuclear war is named in the first line, and the only weapons the banners name are American and NATO ones.
