Bracht became a member of the Arminia Marburg fraternity in 1949 and had been the old master of the old Breslau fraternity of the Raczeks in Bonn since 1963 .

Political and international law positions

Bracht was close to the right-wing extremist circle of friends Ulrich von Hutten, founded in 1983 by Lisbeth Grolitsch and Otto Ernst Remer , and published historical revisionist articles on international law in his magazine Huttenbriefe . For the legal assessment of the positions of Grolitsch and Remer, in whose journal Bracht published, see also the Remer trial . A posthumously published article by Bracht, in which Adolf Hitler's guilt in the Second World War is relativized and a German Reich within the borders before 1945 is called for, can be found in the 02/2006 issue of Huttenbriefe .

Furthermore, according to the ideology of the Reich Citizens' Movement , Bracht represented the legal opinion in the article that the German Reich continues to exist to this day - contrary to state practice and the prevailing opinion of jurisprudence, but not in the form of the Federal Republic of Germany ; parts of Prussia , Poland and Russia had also been annexed in violation of international law and still parts of the German Empire.

He was a founding member and president of the Western Goals of Europe , an offshoot of a US Conservative Association founded in 1979 by the Conservative MP in the US Congress, Lawrence P. McDonald, who was then one of the leading members of the John Birch Society in the USA belonged to.
