List of White Nationalist Organizations - Germany

Germany

• National Democratic Party of Germany, (Nationaldemokratische Partei Deutschlands; abbreviated NPD) is a far-right German nationalist party formed in 1964. The NPD was founded in 1964 as a successor to the German Reich Party (German: Deutsche Reichspartei, DRP) and considers itself to be Germany's "only significant patriotic force." The leader of the NPD is Udo Voigt.
• German People's Union, (Deutsche Volksunion; abbreviated DVU) was a German nationalist party formed in 1971 by Gerhard Frey. The DVU supports German ethnic nationalism, Pan-Germanism, Third Positionism, and Right-wing populism. The party ends up in 2011 by joining the National Democratic Party of Germany.
• German League for People and Homeland, (Deutsche Liga für Volk und Heimat; abbreviated DLVH) is nationalist and conservative right-wing German political association which was formed in 1991 by the more extreme right-wing Harald Neubauer, who split from Die Republikaner in reaction to the over-moderately conservative REP leader, Franz Schönhuber. When it first emerged, the DLVH stated its goal was to unite all of Germany's far-right elements under one banner.
• The Republicans, (Die Republikaner; abbreviated REP) is a Nationalist and Conservative political party in Germany, formed in 1983 and led by Rolf Schlierer. The REP promotes German nationalism, National Conservatism, anti-immigration, Right-wing populism, and social conservatism.
• German Heathen's Front, (Deutsche Heidnische Front; abbreviated DHF) is a far-right Germanic Neopagan group formed by avowed neo-Nazi Hendrik Möbus in 1998 as the German section of the Allgermanische Heidnische Front (AHF), or All-Germanic Heathen's Front, an international Völkisch and Pagan group practicing Heathenry in the forms of Germanic Neopaganism, Odinism, and Wotanism.
• Gesinnungsgemeinschaft der Neuen Front (abbreviated GdNF) was the main group in Germany for neo-Nazi activity in the 1990s. The small group was formed in 1985 by Michael Kühnen, Thomas Brehl and Christian Worch after the 1983 banning of the Action Front of National Socialists/National Activists. The GdNF was soon formalized into a well-ordered organization, taking in the former ANS/NA membership. The GdNF placed itself within the more radical Sturmabteilung tradition of Nazism rather than simple devotion to Adolf Hitler, staging marches, paramilitary training and setting up cells in the German Democratic Republic. After Kühnen came out in 1986, the GdNF remained loyal, but in the resulting split, the group lost control of both the FAP and the organizations of celebrations for Hitler's 100th birthday. After Kühnen's death in 1991, the group gradually passed out of existence.
• National Offensive, (German: Nationale Offensive; abbreviated NO) was a German neo-Nazi party formed in 1990 by Michael Swierczek, former chairman of the Free German Workers' Party (FAP) in Bavaria. The focus of the platform of the NO was its fight against immigrants. It considered the blending of cultures to be genocide, and therefore called for the deportation of foreigners, tightening of German asylum laws, and making it more difficult to attain German nationality. In 1991 and 1992, the NO publicly supported former SS-member Josef Schwammberger while on trial for war crimes. the National Offensive was banned by the German Interior Ministry in 1992.
• German Alternative, (Deutsche Alternative; abbreviated DA) was a minor neo-Nazi group set up by Michael Kühnen in 1989. Deutsche Alternative's declared goal was the restoration of the German Reich, and DA rejected the cession of German areas in Eastern Europe following World War II as well as all immigration to Germany claiming that there were already too many foreigners in the country.
• Free German Workers' Party, (Freiheitliche Deutsche Arbeiterpartei; abbreviated FAP) was a neo-Nazi political association in Germany from 1979 to 1995. The FAP was relatively obscure until the larger and more active ANS/NA was banned in 1983, when prominent German neo-Nazi Michael Kühnen encouraged former members of the now-illegal ANS/NA to infiltrate the FAP in order to preserve a nucleus of organized National Socialism in Germany. However, the FAP itself was banned by the German government in 1995.
• Action Front of National Socialists/National Activists, (Aktionsfront Nationaler Sozialisten/Nationale Aktivisten; abbreviated ANS/NA) was a German National Socialist group formed by Michael Kühnen in 1977, under the name Action Front of National Socialists (ANS), as a legal branch of the NSDAP/AO. The ANS merged with the National Activists (NA), another neo-Nazi group led by Thomas Brehl, in 1983, forming the ANS/NA as it existed until its ban by the German government. In 1983, the German Ministry of the Interior banned the ANS/NA, which officially disbanded soon after.
• Nationalist Front, (Nationalistische Front; abbreviated NF) was a minor neo-Nazi group formed in 1982 as the Nationalist Front - League of Social Revolutionary Nationalists. The Nationalist Front was characterized for its support for Strasserism rather than the more usual forms of Nazism, and also for having a large Pagan population and for forming links with the Ku Klux Klan in America, even performing cross burnings.
• People's Socialist Movement of Germany/Labour Party, (Volkssozialistische Bewegung Deutschlands/Partei der Arbeit; abbreviated VSBD/PdA) was a German neo-Nazi group led by Friedhelm Busse. The Junge Front (Young Front), a youth movement attached to the party, was also organized. The VSBD/PdA adopted a more left-leaning view of Nazism: Strasserism. Strasserism, formed by two early left-leaning Nazis in the 1920s, the brothers Gregor and Otto Strasser, calls for a more radical, mass-action and worker-based form of National Socialism, particularly hostile to finance capitalism. The VSBD/PdA was banned in Germany in 1982.
• Viking Youth, (Wiking-Jugend; abbreviated WJ) was a German neo-Nazi youth organization modeled after the original Hitler Youth, the HJ Hitlerjugend. The WJ was formed in 1952 as the successor to the Reichsjugend, the youth branch of the Sozialistische Reichspartei, which was banned. So when the German neo-Nazis went underground, the fragments of former National Socialist youth organizations and smaller follow-ups - the former Reichsjugend, the Vaterländischer Jungenbund, the Deutsche Unitarier-Jugend - were eventually all brought together as the Wiking-Jugend. The WJ was outlawed as unconstitutional in 1994.
• Socialist Reich Party of Germany, (Sozialistische Reichspartei Deutschlands; abbreviated SRP) was a far right West German political party founded in 1949, in the aftermath of World War II, as an openly National Socialist and Hitler-admiring split from the Deutsche Reichspartei. Leading figures included Otto Ernst Remer, a former Major General in the Wehrmacht. The SRP claimed that Karl Dönitz was the last legitimate Führer of a pan-German Reich. The SRP also advocated Europe, led by a reunited German Reich, as a "third force" against both capitalism and communism. The SRP was banned by the West German government in 1952, and much of its membership re-joined the Deutsche Reichspartei
• German Reich Party, (Deutsche Reichspartei; abbreviated DRP) was a German nationalist political party formed from the defunct German Right Party in Germany in 1950. In 1949, the Socialist Reich Party split from the DRP; the SRP was openly National Socialist and Hitler-admiring. However, the DRP would be marked as the new force of neo-Nazism in 1952, when the Socialist Reich Party was declared unconstitutional and banned, and much of its membership joined or re-joined the DRP, including longtime Nazi and former Luftwaffe pilot, Hans-Ulrich Rudel, who joined in 1953. The German Reich Party remained the main force of the far-right in Germany until it dissolved in 1964, replaced by the National Democratic Party of Germany (Nationaldemokratische Partei Deutschlands, or NPD)
• German Conservative Party - German Right Party, (Deutsche Konservative Partei - Deutsche Rechtspartei) was a conservative and nationalist German post-World War II political party, formed in 1946 as a merger of the German Conservatives, Deutsche Aufbaupartei, and Deutsche Bauern- und Landvolk Partei. Originally intended as a continuation of the conservative pre-WWII German National People's Party, it soon attracted a number of former Nazis and its program changed towards a more neo-Nazi stance. The Deutsche Rechtspartei continued to face pressure until eventually it merged with other right-wing groups, such as the National Democrats, to form the German Reich Party around 1950.
