Neo-Nazi Creeps Back from the Shadows
By Christof Voigt and David Peters
Remember ol' Horst Seehofer? He banned the militant, unconstitutional neo-Nazi group "Combat 18 Germany" back in 2020. Five years later, it seems the little bastards are back with a vengeance. Four dickheads from Thuringia, Rhineland-Palatinate, and Baden-Württemberg are standing trial, accused of leading this scummy group after the ban.
Now, you might have heard of "Combat 18", or "C18" - it's a "Adolf Hitler Combat Group". This group is considered the armed wing of the worldwide active and connected right-wing extremist network "Blood & Honour". Scary stuff, right?
Shoulda Put a Ban on 'Em Years Ago
Despite mounting pressure, authorities didn't put the ban on "Combat 18" until 2020. The Federal Ministry of the Interior deemed "Combat 18" to be...well, you get the picture.
C18's Secret Meetings
According to the federal prosecutor's office, these four fuckin' idiots were running C18 until at least spring 2022. They're accused of holding at least 14 secret meetings and initiating new members. The feds say they also organized right-wing rock concerts and marches through forests, and that's just the beginning.
Gregor M., for instance, allegedly organized and sold these rock concerts with his buddy Stanley R. Who the hell is Stanley R., you ask? Well, he is reportedly the leader of the group and a prime networker with other right-wing extremist groups.
Time to Wake Up, Bubble Boy
"C18" is highly dangerous, according to Professor Dierk Borstel of the University of Applied Sciences Dortmund. They're employing something called the "leaderless resistance" principle. You may have heard of that in conspiracy theories, but imagine it in real life with a bunch of brainwashed neo-Nazis.
Known Extremists under the Microscope
Guess what? These fuckers are well-known figures in the right-wing extremist scene. They've done time behind bars for violent acts. Robin S. was a member of the Dortmund neo-Nazi crew for years and shot a Tunisian during a supermarket robbery. He even had a pen pal in Beate Zschäpe, who's been involved in the murder of ten people as a member of the terrorist network "National Socialist Underground".
Stanley R. popped up in a video from "Combat 18 Germany" following the murder of Kassel's government president Walter Lübcke. There's a photo of tiny dick Stanley with Lübcke's murderer at a campaign event in Kassel. What a friendly bunch, eh?
Keven L. got his hands dirty by running for the disbanded neo-Nazi party "Die Rechte" in the 2016 Baden-Württemberg state election. Kev now lives in Eisenach, just like the bigwig Stanley. Gregor M. hails from a tiny village in the Vulkaneifel and's said to have been wild in the scene for over 20 years. He's also served time for attacking a scene dropout.
Sentiment as the Verdict Nears
The verdict is due in September. If found guilty, these dudes could face up to five years in the can or hefty fines. Let's just hope the justice system serves a solid lesson: Leave the Hitler fantasies in the history books where they belong.
Caveat: The ongoing trial of four alleged leaders associated with the banned neo-Nazi group "Combat 18 Germany" is currently underway at the Dortmund Regional Court as of June 2025. These defendants are accused of continuing the activities of Combat 18 underground despite the group's prohibition in Germany[2][1].
All Eyes on the Defendants:- The defendants are known figures in the right-wing extremist scene, having served prison sentences for violent acts.
On the Line:- Given Germany's uncompromising stance on far-right extremism, if convicted, the defendants could face severe penalties including lengthy prison sentences or fines.- Similar cases in the EU have resulted in convictions with prison terms ranging from several years to life imprisonment, depending on the gravity of the crimes.
In summary, the trial is actively progressing, and if convicted, these defendants could face significant penalties for leading the banned neo-Nazi terrorist organization "Combat 18" in Germany[1][2].
- The trial of four individuals accused of leading the banned neo-Nazi group "Combat 18 Germany," currently ongoing at the Dortmund Regional Court, has sparked concerns due to their known association with right-wing extremism and violent acts.
- The outcome of this trial, scheduled for September 2025, could potentially set a precedent in German justice, especially given Europen Union's tough stance on far-right extremism, as similar cases have resulted in convictions with prison terms ranging from several years to life imprisonment.
