      It’s the tradition silly. They just want the good old days. They’re just conservatives.

      Why were there only 22 nazis on trial in Nuremberg? Because the dock could only fit 22 people. How did the denazification go? Of the 1.3million nazis to be prosecuted it was only a fraction of a fraction. Germany now is not what it used to be then, but there are ‘conservatives’ among the good German people.

        I’m an immigrant in Germany. I’m fair skinned, tall, and I speak German pretty well. The number of times I’ve been told that I’m not an immigrant is insane. “Immigrants” include people with Turkish names whose families have lived in Germany for four generations, but not me, who doesn’t even have permanent residency yet.

    Good for Germany. I think they could teach us a thing or two about how to solve our own problems with far right groups.

      But not a single thing more than one or two.

      Because the group was founded and led by a Nazi in 1951 who believed in the exact same thing as the Nazi party but wasn’t a member, therefore avoiding pretty much any and all consequences.

        I don’t think it was possible to be an SS member and not also be member of the NSDAP. Be that as it, may, same difference anyways.

          Here’s a snippet from a book I randomly happen to own a PDF copy of about him:

          Rough translation:

          Unharmed, the Nordic Faith Community of Wilhelm Kusserow survived the denazification because he wasn’t a member of the Nazi party. Additionally, he managed to be perceived as a victim by authorities, thereby avoiding post-war reeducation in interment camps. Afterwards he founded the Artgemeinschaft e.V. [rest of name] which adopted almost the same creed as the former Nordic Faith Community.
