Members of FKD have been exposed recently by an investigation published by Eugene Antifa, a group in Oregon working to expose neo-nazis, which warned the group was acting as “ a pressure cooker for potential terrorists.” FKD’s European activities were also recently reported by Roman Hoffner in the German newspaper Der Speigel.
They openly call for mass shootings and other attacks on civilians and infrastructure, which they believe hasten their desired ‘race war’. The US State Department has recently moved to have Atomwaffen designated as a foreign terrorist group, although this designation has not yet been made official or approved by the White House.Īnother similar group called the Feuerkrieg Division (FKD) shares the same goals as Atomwaffen and The Base. Members of Atomwaffen and The Base, both neo-nazi groups that openly embrace terrorist tactics, have recently been arrested in ongoing high-profile criminal cases. In early 2020, the more violent and radical end of the neo-nazi movement has come under increasing scrutiny and legal prosecution.
