from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Action Front National Socialists / National Activists (ANS / NA) was a German neo-Nazi organization.

history

It was founded in November 1977 in Hamburg-Wandsbek under the name ANS by Michael Kühnen , who had recently been dismissed from the Bundeswehr for his political activities. It was the successor organization of the SA-Sturm Hamburg May 8th and the leisure club Hansa , also called "Hansa-Gang", with which Kühnen had repeatedly hit the headlines in the previous months due to neo-Nazi activities. The main meeting point of the ANS in Hamburg was the Can Can restaurant operated by the openly gay “Nazi Lothar” Barbiaczyk-Wrobel , which also functioned as a sex club . On May 20, 1978, the ANS gained national publicity when several members appeared in public wearing donkey masks and cardboard signs denying the Holocaust .

In 1978/79 almost the entire management team of the ANS was imprisoned. On January 15, 1983, the merger of the ANS was done with the group of national activists of Thomas Brehl to ANS / NA under the leadership of Michael Bold. It was divided into about 30 comradeships and into the areas north, south, west and middle. It saw itself as a continuation of the NSDAP and SA and had adopted their ideology, which included advocating the anti-Semitic race laws of the Third Reich.

On November 24, 1983, the ANS / NA, including its subsidiary groups, Aktion Ausländerrrückführung and Freundeskreis Deutsche Politik, was banned by the Federal Minister of the Interior and dissolved on December 7th. At that time it had over 300 mostly young people.

Hamburg Fememord

On May 29, 1981, ANS member Johannes Bügner, known as gay, was murdered, an example of which was to be made. The activist Michael F. had been calling for some time in internal statements to remove gays and "traitors". In the Can Can he then get banned. The 28-year-old Friedhelm E., who was accompanied by Michael F. and several like-minded comrades, got Bügner out of the restaurant on the pretext of wanting to hand him a letter from Kühn and later murdered him with 20 stab wounds on the city limits of Hamburg. F., who was present at the crime, reported the murder himself the next day. Friedhelm E. boasted of the deed after his arrest and stated that he had "liquidated" Bügner on F.'s behalf. Michael F. denied the incitement and revealed during the proceedings that he had worked with the Hamburg Office for the Protection of the Constitution. Through its V-man -Leader had him doing impunity was assured when not active were participating in crimes. The two main offenders were sentenced to life imprisonment, the three co-defendants to short time sentences.
