The Front Deutscher Äpfel (short F.D.Ä.; German for ''Front of German Apples''), also called Apfelfront (Apple Front) is a satirical organisation, founded in Leipzig in 2004. It satirizes right extremist parties, especially the Nationaldemokratische Partei Deutschlands (NPD). In the style of former and existing right extremist organisational structures it is subdivided into numerous sub-groups like the youth organisation ''Nationales Frischobst Deutschland'' (NFD; ''National Fresh Fruit of Germany''), the women's organisation ''Bund weicher Birnen'' (B.W.B.; ''League of Soft Pears'', compare League of German Girls; Birne, ''pear'', is a German colloquial term for head, "eine weiche Birne haben" ("to have a soft pear"), is synonymous to "being very stupid") and many further local ''Gaue''. == Platform == The Apple Front argues in favour of political requirements for purification of the German fruit crop. The organisation describes itself as ''"Nationale Initiative gegen die Überfremdung des deutschen Obstbestandes und gegen faul herumlungerndes Fallobst"'' - translated ''"National initiative against the overforeignization of German fruit crop and against lazy/rotten mooching fallen fruit"'' (''faul'' means both ''lazy'' and ''rotten''). The key demands of the organisation are: # Termination of the overforeignisation of German fruit by engrafting of foreign species. # Closing the borders against tropical fruits (''"Grenzen dicht für Fremdobst!"'' - English ''"Close the borders against foreign fruit!"''). # Elimination of lazy/rotten (compare ''faul'' above) windfall (''"Macht Fallobst zu !"'' - English ''"Make windfall to mush!"''). The Apfelfront tries to use overly Germanized terminology in press releases and statements, at public demonstrations and on their website just like original right and extreme right internet services, and mimics the public appearance of the NSDAP and modern right extremist organisations. Therefore ''"homepage"'' is called ''"Heimseite"'', ''"webpage"'' is named ''"Weltnetzseite" and ''"bulletin board/forum"'' is turned into ''"Brett"'' (all three English terms are common in current German usage; the translated/transformed German terms are commonly perceived as xenophobic or at least ridiculous in context of information technology). Particular terms, slogans and rhetorical devices used by the NPD and especially by Holger Apfel, their chairperson in the Landtag of Saxony, such as ''"Grenzen dicht!"'' (''"Close the borders!"'') are picked up by the Apple Front and get used overly explicitly but are changed in their political message to orcharding and fruit utilization in order to make the original political statements and their representatives appear ridiculous. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Front Deutscher Äpfel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
