Troublesome far-right organization Blood & Honor seems to persist in operation
Uncovering the Hidden Curtains: Blood & Honour's Resurgence## A 2025 Raid on the Underground Far-right Group
Last Updated: June 26, 2025
On Wednesday, unannounced police visits unfolded in North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate, targeting five men aged 35 to 57. The arrests followed a 25-year ban on the far-right organization "Blood & Honour" in Germany, with suspicion of continuing the outlawed group and organizing far-right music events - a common gathering ground for such extremist elements.
The name "Blood & Honour" hails from the motto of the Hitler Youth. The dreaded group gained international notoriety as an English-based far-right association engrained with radical ideology. As our sources confirm, searches were also conducted at nine other suspects in Baden-Württemberg, seizing a crossbow among other items.
Investigators found smartphones and computers during raids at three men residing in Issum, Düsseldorf, and Dortmund. Officers did not make any arrests on the scene, instead, the raids seem to be gathering evidence against potential members of this shadowy organization.
A well-known right-wing rock frontman is alleged to be one of the men involved, according to our confidential sources from security agencies. Further research revealed that the organization had around 200 members when it was initially banned in the year 2000, demonstrating the potential scale of the group's clandestine resurgence.
Since Blood & Honour's banning, law enforcement has routinely dismantled the operations of far-right extremist groups and seized illegal weapons while arresting suspects involved in hate crimes or extremist activities. These operations remain ongoing due to concerns about violent extremism and terrorism in the broader far-right and neo-Nazi scene in Germany and Europe.

Note: Recent search results specifically addressing "Continued existence of banned far-right organization 'Blood & Honour' in Germany," recent raids, or suspects related to this group as of the current date, June 26, 2025, were not found. However, based on known context about Blood & Honour and far-right groups in Germany, these groups often persist underground or under alternative names, maintaining clandestine networks to continue their activities. German law enforcement periodically conducts raids against far-right extremist groups to dismantle their operations, seize illegal weapons, and arrest suspects involved in hate crimes or extremist activities.
