Abstract

This essay examines the German terrorist group the National Socialist Underground, highlighting its international links with organisations connected to British and American neo-Nazi activism. Koehler explores how the National Socialist Underground networked with a wide variety of activists. It shows how the group had a both a nationally based ‘peripheral network’, and links to a wider, international nexus of extreme right activism. In particular, he demonstrates how movements with their origins in Britain, such as Blood & Honour and Combat 18, were of importance to the terrorist organisation, as well as American links, especially the European White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. The conclusions suggest that future explorations of far right terrorist should explore in more depth the multi-national linkages that such groups develop.
