Protection of the Constitution report 1996


III. Neonazism

1. Objective

Ideology the
National socialism

The Neonazism fastens to the ideology of the National socialism, therefore to a totalitarian, nationalistic and racist leader state with an unity party, whose core element is the following racist and antisemitic reason idea from that - " 25Punkte - program " - the NSDAP:

- " citizens can be only, who people comrade is. If German blood people enjoyed can be only, who is, without regard to confession. No Jew can be thus people comrade. " -

Leader principle

The Neonazism is not ideologically homogeneous however. Some Neonazis orient themselves to the person and the positions Adolf Hitlers, other to it - " antikapitalistischen " - and - " sozialrevolutionären " - currents of the National socialism (gravity Raw, Gregor and Otto Strasser). Ideas in the sense of an ideology are at the activist - insbesondere at youths and Heranwachsenden  - indeed to the part only rudimentary available.

Propaganda emphases:
wirtschafts - and sociopolitical themes

In the center neonazistischer propaganda stood 1996 wirtschafts - and sociopolitical themes. Neonazis tied these problem fields with national theory elements and used them/it/her in the sense of their hostile to foreigners reasoning. With topical Agitationsthemen they tried, to achieve attention in the population and in the general political dispute accepts to werden2 ).

2. Restructuring in the Neonaziszene

Strategies it
Neonazis after the organization prohibitions

The prohibitions rechtsextremistischer unions, through which also the establishment of successor organizations is forbidden, forced Neonazis to it, to organize their political activities differently and to dispense before everything with union structures. The earlier functionary the forbidden - " liberals Germans Arbeiterpartei " - (FAP) André GOERTZ(26) and the former league chairman the forbidden - " nationals offensive " - (NO) Michael SWIERCZEK(35) engineered - " network strategies " -:

- " Autonomous
Fellowships " -

As smallest unit it - " national movement " - should numerous, from about ten to fifteen persons existing local groups are formed. These - " autonomous fellowships " - should neither display a vereinsmässige structure nor formal memberships. The common drive ability of the fellowships should be reached through their informationelle network. The usage of technical communication media like mobile phones, mailboxs and info - telephones as well as the use the Internet were pushed therefore goal-oriented further (vgl. Kap.X).

Regional
Emphases

Particularly in baths - Württemberg, Berlin and north Germany many have developed - " autonomous fellowships " -. In baths - Württemberg the majority belongs the Neonazis no more festgefügten organizations at separate loose and organisationsunabhängigen person unions with up to 50 members.

- " north Germans
Movement " -:
Interlocking over the Neonaziszene out

Them by GOERTZ as well as the chairman of the country association Hamburg it - " boys Nationaldemokraten " - (JN) Jan ZOBEL (20) led - " north Germans movement " - (NDB) is an example for the efforts, to organize a cooperation over the Neonaziszene out. The NDB sits together from (former) members several rechtsextremistischer organizations, particularly the forbidden FAP, which - " Germans Liga for people and home " - (DLVH), which - " boys Nationaldemokraten " - (JN) and it - " Nationaldemokratischen party of Germany " - (NPD). She/it has led thus at least in first attempts to a cooperation different rechtsextremistischer powers in north Germany. In the last months the NDB lost indeed at meaning.

Drives to the Todestag of Rudolf Hess

An example for goal-oriented cooperation of Neonazis and other right-wing extremist, particularly the JN, are the drives to the ninth Todestag of Rudolf Hess. To Emphasize are thereby the processions at the 17.August in Worms (Rhineland-Palatinate) with about 200 and in Merseburg (Saxony - support) with about 120Teilnehmern.

No increase of the drive ability

The new organization forms have not yet led nationwide to an increase of the national drive ability. The suppression of the union structures works out as always paralyzing on the drive standby and Mobilisierbarkeit the Neonazis.

3. - " Anti - Antifä - campaign

Goal it - " Anti-Antifa " -: - " enemy enlightenment " -

The basic idea of the cooperation itself competing groups of Neonazis is found in it by the former deputy chairman the forbidden - " nationals list " - (NL) Christ At WORCH (40) 1992 initiated - " Anti - Antifä - campaign. She/it has served them - " enlightenment " - the political adversary (- " enemy enlightenment " -) to the goal and as shock for the education of drive communities of relatives rechtsextremistischer organizations over the Neonaziszene out.

Revival through new concepts of the enemy

Them - " Anti - Antifa - campaign " - reached in the November 1993 with approximately 200 activists their peak; to this point in time appeared the publication - " THE INSIGHT " -. One of the publishers, norm At KEMPKEN(28), would was exposed in this connection at the 5.November in second instance of the district court Darmstadt to a prison term by a year and six months, which for the proof, condemns. KEMPKEN has inserted against the judgment revision.

According to the decline of the activities, which conformed to end 1995 first of all at left-wing extremists, learned the campaign a revival. To the concept of the enemy the individual, predominantly regionally agitating groups belong now also increases judges, district attorneys, policemen, editors and politicians.

In it by the former functionary the forbidden - " nationalistics front " - (NF) Steffen HUPKA(34) published publication - " page make-up " - is called it:

- " Each, which expresses is itself against the national matter directly or indirectly enemy of the people. Each, which agitates against national groups and their views, puts itself against the people, for we represent the people. Each, which is ready, to go ahead against us in word and deed, to not lose his profession, his position, his position of power, his respect or his money or to endanger (authorities, policemen, journalists etc.), is our adversary, for he/it puts itself against the people. " -
(- " page make-up " -, 10/November 1995, S. 15)

Use of new communication media

Increased are inserted also new communication systems. Over the rechtsextremistische - " Thule - net " - (vgl. Kap.X, Nr.1) spread - " Anti - Antifä - activist data of political adversaries. Lists, which contain to the part over hundred names, end with calls like:

- " We get them/it/her ALL! " -

- " THE ADDRESSES ARE NOT DAFUER THERE, THAT YOU BECOME GELOESCHT, BUT THAT YOUR WITH IT EVADES!!! " -

- " FORMS AUTONOMOUS ANTI-ANTIFA CELLS!! " -

Also parliamentarians
Goal of
- " Anti-Antifa " - -
Activities

Also parliamentarians were affected by such calls it - " Anti-Antifa " -. So one distributed in the spring - " drive citizen Closely Democratie " -, which marked itself as - " initiative the revolutionary nationalists drive group Naumburg/Saale " -, leaflets, in them parliamentarians with image, Privatadresse and phone number listed and were attacked in slandering way. So it is called to a member of the German parliament:

- " Which a Turk in the German has to search Bundestag, is not us known. But in one ' multikulturellen company Gesellschaft' appears yes nothing more impossible. Perhaps you can (...) Özdemir ask, what he/it has lost in a German parliament. If you want, can prompt him/it yes also, to dispense with his office as members of the German parliament. " -
