Aug 17, 2017 at 17:45 comment added David Richerby @Schmuddi "Get to" means exactly that, yes. But the way it's written suggests that it unsettled the nazis so much that they stopped marching. It strongly suggests something along the lines of "Counter-protests didn't stop them, but this crazy trick did." (Please excuse the clickbait-ese.)

Aug 17, 2017 at 12:56 comment added Schmuddi @Jordy: Fair enough, I'm not a native speaker. I always understood the meaning of the expression to get to s.o. to be something like "to unsettle s.o.".
Aug 17, 2017 at 12:29 comment added Just J for now @Schmuddi, "Counter marches didn't stop them. What really got to them was when..." implies that the fundraiser did the trick. That's how I (and presumably Andrew Grimm) read it.
Aug 17, 2017 at 12:23 comment added Schmuddi @Andrew Grimm: Who claims that the fundraiser (which was an actual event, and which continue to be held in order to react to neo-nazi marches) stopped these types of marches? The facebook post doesn't make this claim, does it?
Aug 17, 2017 at 12:22 comment added Schmuddi @JanDoggen: Hess's parents lived in the town of Wunsiedel, and were also buried there. Even though he never lived in that town, Hess wanted to be buried next to his parents after his death, which was what happened in 1987. He was exhumed in 2011 and buried at sea in order to stop the neo-nazi marches.
