What is the banned 'Kingdom of Germany' group? - DW News



Germany has banned the group known as "Kingdom of Germany", a prominent faction of the far-right Reich Citizens movement.
The German interior ministry said police had raided properties of key members across seven federal states, including that of founder Peter Fitzek. The group, which has established a self-proclaimed 'counter-state' and even issued its own currency, has around six thousand followers. German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt says the group uses anti-Semitic conspiracy theories to support its claim to sovereignty -- behaviour that he said cannot be tolerated in a state governed by the rule of law.

some 80 years out from WWII, because in the decades immediately after a lot was hidden, buried, because everyone knew, the lower echelon still held power in many areas. And now the USA must deal with it.

They are investigating and disrupting their Nazi movement. Our country elected fascists to office in our nation's capital.
