BERLIN (Reuters) - German border guards will try to stop members of an ultra-nationalist Russian motorcycle club from crossing the border in a biker parade to mark the 70th anniversary of the end of World War Two on May 9, government officials said on Monday.

Even though members of the "Night Wolves" may already have visas for Germany, they will be revoked at the border if members of the group, blacklisted in the United States for their participation in Russia's annexation of Crimea, try to enter.
