Working Group Nation Europe
The Arbeitsgemeinschaft Nation Europa (ANE) was a small right-wing extremist party founded by Erwin Schönborn . The ANE emerged from the Society for the Promotion of the Film "Immortal Beloved" by Veit Harlan , also launched by Schönborn , and was created in May 1952. It was planned as a collection movement for national-European circles and was aimed primarily at readers of the right-wing monthly Nation Europe . Schönborn saw a task in defending the honor of Adolf Hitler , who in his opinion was "pelted with dirt in a disgusting way", which is why it "is our right and our obligation that we stand before the person like a man, who represented Germany from 1934 to 1945 as head of state and supreme warlord ”.
On January 29, 1953, the Berlin Senator for the Interior banned the ANE as a right-wing extremist organization. Schönborn was sentenced to five months in prison, but shortly afterwards founded the German Freedom Party (DFP), which was also dissolved in 1954.
In 1977 Schönborn founded the “National Europe Action Group” as a “gathering movement for all national and constructive forces”. Among other things, this group nominated Hitler's deputy Rudolf Hess as their candidate for the 1977 European elections . In the 1979 European elections , the group placed the former concentration camp guard Hildegard Smiling, known as "bloody Brigitte", on position 4 .
