IN late 2018, the newspaper taz and Focus magazine revealed an extensive network of far-right extremists across Germany, connected to, but larger than, the notorious Nordkreuz group.

It operated in regional groupings across Germany – west, south, east and north, deliberately mirroring German army structures – with further branches in Austria and Switzerland, and included active soldiers, reservists, police, lawyers, judges, firefighters, civil servants and intelligence agents.
