Germany Cracks Down on Neo-Nazi Group with US Ties, Conducts Nationwide Raids

The German government has banned the neo-Nazi group Hammerskins Germany and conducted raids in 10 German states, targeting dozens of its members. The group, which is an offshoot of an American right-wing extremist group, plays a prominent role in the European right-wing extremist scene. The ban includes the association's regional chapters and sub-organization Crew 38. The raids resulted in the seizure of right-wing extremist devotional objects and cash. This marks the 20th ban of a right-wing extremist association by the German interior ministry, highlighting the ongoing threat of right-wing extremism in the country.

Germany Takes Action: Banning Neo-Nazi Group Hammerskins

Germany has banned the neo-Nazi group Hammerskins, known for organizing far-right concerts and selling racist music. The authorities conducted raids on the residences of 28 leading members across the country. Hammerskins, founded in the US in the late 1980s, has approximately 130 members in Germany. The ban is seen as a significant blow against organized right-wing extremism and aims to put an end to the group's inhumane actions. Germany's interior minister emphasized that right-wing extremism remains the biggest threat to democracy, and the government will continue to act decisively against it. This is the 20th time a right-wing extremist association has been outlawed in Germany.
