This was particularly confirmed by Horst Mahler , who acted as a representative of the NPD. a. launched by faxes to the members of the Interior Committee in the German Bundestag.

Conviction for sedition

In 2005, Aae was sentenced to a fine of 5000 euros by the Rosenheim District Court for sedition . In an email sent on March 10, 2004 to over 30 recipients, including the Bild-Zeitung Munich, the FAZ-Feuilleton, the TAZ in Berlin, the ZDF, the Federal Chancellor Gerhard Schröder , Wolfgang Schäuble and the Foreign Office, he spoke in connection with the Holocaust of “ belief in hell ”, “ gas chamber dogma ” and described historians as “ perverse, brutal rapists of German children's souls ”. For several reasons, he said, " the Holocaust scenario as a whole does not seem credible ". He was of the " opinion ... that gas chambers were unsuitable for human extermination ". In the appeal hearing, the Traunstein Regional Court upheld the district court's first judgment at the end of August 2006, but reduced the fine to 4800 euros. According to the court, the content of the e-mail to at least 30 people was to be regarded as a " qualified denial of the Holocaust ".

He had also attracted attention elsewhere for his historical revisionist and anti-Semitic views. For example, he published a contribution in the German Voice under the title "Imperialist raid or national self-defense? A historical comparison: George W. Bush's Iraq war in 2003 and Adolf Hitler's campaign in Poland in 1939". He came to the conclusion that the German attack on Poland in 1939 had “ definitely served to ward off a clearly indicated military threat against the Reich ” and added: “ Hitler was waging a war of aggression against Poland. However, he had done everything humanly possible to resolve the German-Polish conflict peacefully, but failed because of the demonstrable willingness of his opponents to go to war. "

In an article published on the right-wing extremist website “Wiener Nachrichten Online” (wno), “Antisemitism Ghost as a Political Strategy”, he defamed the Central Council of Jews as an “ obscure shadow government of the FRG, against its deputy chairman, ie Michel Friedman , Jürgen Möllemann said himself commendably dared to defend ". Aae also said that in the Federal Republic " a tremendous Jewish power base arose " and that the " Jewish-Zionist influence on German politics was considerable ". Anti-Semitism, according to Aae, is “ deliberately and systematically provoked ” in order to prevent a “ national movement ” in the Federal Republic.

On November 10, 2007, Aae in Chemnitz put Germany's guilt for triggering the Second World War into perspective in his lecture “German War Guilt - A Lie as the Basis of the FRG”.
