Nationalistische Front (Nationalist Front) was a minor German neo-Nazi group active during the 1980s. Founded in 1985 by Meinolf Schönborn the group, which had no more than 150 members, was characterized by its support for Strasserism rather than more usual forms of Nazism.〔C. T. Husbands, 'Militant Neo-Nazism in Germany', L. Cheles, R. Ferguson & M. Vaughan (eds.), ''The Far Right in Western & Eastern Europe'', London: Longman, 1995, p. 337〕 The Nationalist Front - League of Social Revolutionary Nationalists had been formed in 1982 from the ashes of the banned Volkssozialistische Bewegung Deutschlands/Partei der Arbeit. This organisation was the basis for a merger with a number of smaller groups to from a new NF.〔C.T. Husbands, 'Militant Neo-Nazism in the Federal Republic of Germany in the 1980', L. Cheles, R. Ferguson & M. Vaughan (eds.), ''Neo-Fascism in Europe'', London: Longman, 1991, p. 99〕 Based primarily in Bielefeld, the group had a largely Pagan membership, hosting fire rituals and similar ceremonies. The group also performed cross burnings and forged links with Dennis Mahon, the head of the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan in Tulsa, Oklahoma.〔M.A. Lee, ''The Beast Reawakens'', p. 336〕 The group also became noted for its armed wing, the National Task Force (''Nationales Einsatzkommando'' - NEK) 〔('Double-radicalization of RWE from the late 1980s and the role of Holocaust denial' )〕 which was set up in 1991 with the help of Otto Ernst Remer and Herbert Schweiger. This group was blamed on a number of attacks, including burning a man to death in the mistaken belief that he was a Jew and the arson of an asylum seeker hostel in Dolgenbrodt, near Berlin.〔M.A. Lee, ''The Beast Reawakens'', pp. 336-7〕 Firmly anti-Semitic, the NF was also associated with Jürgen Rieger, the well-known German Holocaust denier who was a speaker at a number of its events.〔('Frankenstein meets Dr. Mengele in London' ) Searchlight magazine article〕 Towards the end of its existence the group came under the leadership of Andreas Pohl, a former Rock Against Communism musician, who attempted to attract the same white power skinheads to the group that he had previously played at.〔Tore Bjorgo & Rob Witte, ''Racist Violence in Europe'', St Martin's Press, 1993, pp. 85-86〕 Its support for the Nazis led to the group being banned by the Federal Ministry of the Interior in 1992 along with the German Alternative of Michael Kühnen and the National Offensive of Michael Swierczek.〔C. T. Husbands, 'Militant Neo-Nazism in Germany', L. Cheles, R. Ferguson & M. Vaughan (eds.), ''The Far Right in Western & Eastern Europe'', London: Longman, 1995, p. 337〕 The ban came in response to an arson attack on 23 November 1992 on the home of a Turkish family in Mölln, Schleswig-Holstein, with the family's deaths injecting urgency into judgements against neo-Nazi groups.〔Bjorog & Witte, ''Racist Violence in Europe'', p. 155〕 The group was succeeded by a number of organisations including Direct Action Middle Germany and the Social Revolutionary Workers Front, all of which were banned. ==References== 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「Nationalist Front」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
