Three neo-Nazis were sentenced Wednesday after confessing to attacking six campers in the northern German state of Brandenburg.

The expedited trial came just a day after the three were arrested.

A 21-year-old man was sentenced to six months probation and received a $2,000 fine. The two other attackers, both 18, were sentenced to four weeks in a reformatory.
