Committee for the preparation of the celebrations for the 100th birthday of Adolf Hitler

The committee for the preparation of the celebrations for the 100th birthday of Adolf Hitler (KAH) was a right-wing extremist organization that was banned in 1995 as the successor organization to the Action Front of National Socialists / National Activists (ANS / NA).

history

The committee was founded in 1984 in a pub on the Puerta del Sol in Madrid . Unofficially, Thomas Brehl , Michael Kühnen , Léon Degrelle and Michael Caignet as well as other neo-Nazi functionaries from Europe are considered founding members . The organization had a European focus and was supposed to function as a network of various right-wing parties and associations. The most famous organizations included Fasceaux Nationalistes Européens (FNE, France), National Socialist Irish Workers Party (NSIWP, Ireland), the National Socialist Party of the United Kingdom (NSPUK, United Kingdom), the Vlaamse Militanten Orde (Belgium) and the Austrian National front . In Germany it was above all the Freedom German Workers Party (FAP) and the National Offensive (NO) that supported the KAH. The KAH was sealed off from the outside, guidelines and training documents were only accessible to the inner circle. Public forums were magazines of the associations organized in the committee, such as the “German observer” of the NO.

The aim of the organization was to prepare and focus on celebrations for the 100th birthday of Adolf Hitler in 1989, almost as a beacon of "a common movement of the fragmented European networking and creating neo-Nazi should act scene." Internal disputes in the Gesinnungsgemeinschaft der Neuen Front (GdNF) also hindered the KAH in its work. However, Europe-wide meetings took place, which led to an intensification of contacts within the Europe-wide neo-Nazi scene.

In 1984 there was a meeting of the KAH in the Collegium Humanum in Vlotho .

Siegfried Borchardt from Dortmund, known nationwide as SS-Siggi, and Christian Malcoci from the Resistance West and Bela Ewald Althans were functionaries in the KAH.

In 1995, the KAH, whose program was based on that of the ANS / NA and that of the NSDAP structural organization (NSDAP-AO) of the American right-wing extremist Gary Lauck, was banned as the successor organization of the ANS / NA during the so-called "Stuttgart Movement Process". In the proceedings before the Stuttgart Regional Court against the founders of the KAH, the well-known neo-Nazi activist and lawyer Jürgen Rieger demanded the hearing of 500 witnesses, whereupon he was replaced as public defender .
