The activists entered the Volkel Air Base and knelt on the runway, glued to the runway copies of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. The nonviolent protests were part of the international peace camp and week of action and came on the week marking the 78th anniversary of the U.S. atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, August 6th and 9th, 1945. Today the activists arrived in Germany to protest at the Büchel Air Force Base, which is preparing for the delivery of replacement nuclear weapons, including the new B61-12 thermonuclear gravity bomb now in production in the U.S.
