Continued Use By Neo-Nazi Groups
Many symbols used by the Nazis have further been appropriated by neo-Nazi groups, including a number of runes. Neo-Nazis also employ various number symbols such as:
- 18, code for Adolf Hitler. The number comes from the position of the letters in the alphabet: A = 1, H = 8.
- 88, code for Heil Hitler. Again the number comes from the position of the letter H in the Latin alphabet.
- 14, from the Fourteen Words coined by David Lane: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for White children.
14 and 88 are sometimes combined with each other (i.e. 14/88, 8814, 1488).

Famous quotes containing the words continued and/or groups:
“That, upon the whole, we may conclude that the Christian religion not only was at first attended with miracles, but even at this day cannot be believed by any reasonable person without one. Mere reason is insufficient to convince us of its veracity: And whoever is moved by Faith to assent to it, is conscious of a continued miracle in his own person, which subverts all the principles of his understanding, and gives him a determination to believe what is most contrary to custom and experience.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“Only the groups which exclude us have magic.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
