German neo-Nazi


Neo-Nazism consists of post-World War II social or political movements seeking to revive the ideology of Nazism. The term neo-Nazism can also refer to the ideology of these movements.

Neo-Nazism borrows elements from Nazi doctrine, including ultranationalism, racism, ableism, xenophobia, homophobia, antiziganism, antisemitism, and initiating the Fourth Reich. Holocaust denial is a common feature, as is the incorporation of Nazi symbols and admiration of Adolf Hitler.

Neo-Nazi activity is a global phenomenon, with organized representation in many countries, as well as international networks. In some European and Latin American countries, laws have been enacted that prohibit the expression of pro-Nazi, racist, anti-Semitic or homophobic views. Many Nazi-related symbols are banned in European countries in an effort to curtail neo-Nazism.

Following the defeat of Nazi Germany during the Second World War, the political ideology of the ruling party; National Socialism; was in complete disaray as the nation who spawned it lay in ruins. The final leader of the National Socialist German Workers' Party was Martin Bormann, carrying the title Chief of the Party Chancellery. Bormann had been in the Führerbunker with Adolf Hitler and was a member of a close circle of confidants during the last days of the Third Reich. He died on 2 May 1945 during the Battle of Berlin, but the Soviet Union did not reveal his death to the rest of the world, and his ultimate fate remained a mystery for many years. In a similar vein, conspiracy theories emerged about Hitler himself, that he had secretly survived the war and fled to South America or elsewhere.
