National offensive

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Nationale Offensive (NO) was a right-wing extremist association that was banned in 1992 under the Association Act.

history

The National Offensive was founded by former FAP members who were no longer convinced of the direction of their old party and were not satisfied with chairman Friedhelm Busse . Michael Swierczek played a key role in the establishment of the company. The initiative was closely connected with the committee for the preparation of the celebrations for the 100th birthday of Adolf Hitler (KAH).

The organization was founded on July 3, 1990 and was mainly active in Bavaria . In 1990 the NO tried to take part in the state elections in Bavaria , but failed due to a lack of supporters' signatures. In 1991 there was an increasing number of members. In 1992 she took part in local elections in Singen and Konstanz , but only achieved 0.2% of the vote. She also stood in the state elections in Baden-Württemberg in 1992 and achieved 183 votes nationwide.

The NO published a monthly newspaper under the title Deutscher Beobachter - Zeitung der Nationalen Offensive , which had a circulation of 500 to 800 copies.

On December 21, 1992, the National Offensive as an association was banned as an association by Interior Minister Rudolf Seiters , as the association's purpose was directed against the constitutional order.

ideology

The National Offensive saw itself as a militant party. The ideological orientation was racist and xenophobic . The goals were a tightening of the asylum law and a return of foreigners to their home countries, furthermore a withdrawal of Germany from NATO as well as a tougher action against drug-related crime . Within the right-wing extremist scene, the NO drew attention to itself , especially around the Rudolf Heß memorial marches in Wunsiedel .

In addition to the KAH, there were close contacts with the National List , the Nationalist Front , with which a joint party congress was held in 1990 . In 1991, contacts were made with the National Alternative and joint “leadership seminars” were offered as part of a cooperation. Abroad, contacts existed primarily in Eastern Europe and with the American NSDAP organizational structure .

Members

Well-known cadres and members were Michael Swierczek, Christian Malcoci , Jürgen Mosler , Constantin Mayer, Christian Sennlaub, Christian Scholz, Josef Rösch and Günter Boschütz.
