Wolfgang Juchem

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wolfgang Juchem (born April 1940 ) is a German revisionist of the right-wing extremist spectrum.

Life

In 1956, at the age of 16, Juchem joined the right-wing extremist Young German Community (JDG), the youth organization of the German Community . There he became comradeship leader. He completed an apprenticeship as an administrative graduate (FH). From January 7, 1959, he worked for the German Armed Forces , first in Fritzlar and later in Bad Neuenahr . Juchem worked for the Bundeswehr for almost 30 years, partly on a secret mission as a wiretapping specialist on the Hoher Meissner . His last job in the Bundeswehr was with the Military Counter-Intelligence Service (MAD). He retired in 1988 with the rank of captain .

From 1965 to 1976 Juchem was a member of the National Democratic Party of Germany (NPD). In the fall of 1976 he founded his own organization called “Friedensaktion reunification”, which was renamed “Aktionfrei Deutschland” (AFD) on October 3, 1990 and was classified as a “minor revisionist group” by the protection of the constitution.

At the end of 1992 and beginning of 1993, Juchem met the Israeli journalist Yaron Svoray several times, who as Ron Furey had infiltrated the German neo-Nazi scene on behalf of the Simon Wiesenthal Center . Svoray should find out how strong the right-wing extremist scene is, how it is financed and who the key leaders are. Svoray came to the realization that Juchem has a very good reputation in all camps of right-wing extremism. Many therefore trusted him to unite the fragmented neo-Nazi scene.

Juchem often appears as a speaker at events in the right-wing extremist spectrum, for example at the "Hetendorfer Conference Weeks" initiated by Jürgen Rieger or as part of the Rudolf Hess memorial marches . At one of the latter events, Juchem spoke of the fact that post-war Germany's “self-declared democrats” had been spreading “fairy tales” about Rudolf Hess, who was actually a “representative of decent, German Germany” for decades.

Juchem was mentioned by name as a right-wing extremist in various state and federal reports on the protection of the constitution , in particular because of his anti-Semitic and revisionist statements and publications.
