London, Nov 25 : Students in Germany have shed their clothes and posed nude for a calendar shoot in protest against university fees.

The students, who staged a series of sit-ins across the country, decided to highlight their cause by posing for the calendar, and then using the proceeds to boost their campaign.

The 10 pounds a time calendars are being snapped up on website www.un.geniert.de.

"It was a lot of fun doing the shoot and it was all very relaxed. I'm really pleased with how the photos turned out," the Sun quoted art student Anke Mauth, 25, from Soest, west of Dortmund, as saying.

"However I won't be telling my parents. I was raised very conservatively and I'm really hoping they won't see it," Mauth added.
