“On the website of the German neo-Nazi party “Third Way” a series of publications appeared about its delegation’s recent visit to Kyiv. Dressed in jackets with a large inscription “National Revolutionary Socialists” on the back, the Germans with their banners honored the “memory of heroes” at the cemetery of Wehrmacht soldiers near Kiev, and also took part in the congress and march of the National Corps party in the Ukrainian capital.
The participation of a “numerous delegation from Germany” in the events of the “Azov” party on October 14 was announced on October 18 on Facebook (and in English) by the head of the international direction of the “National Corps” Olena Semenyaka.
On October 19, a publication appeared on the website of the German party “Third Way” (Der III. Weg) about the trip to Ukraine of its delegation led by party leaders Klaus Artstroff and Matthias Fischer. On the website of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, this party is mentioned among the largest neo-Nazi associations.
“During several days of stay in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, the delegation of our Third Way party received numerous impressions and valuable ideas in the struggle for a new Ukrainian order,” says a publication on the website of the German party, the vocabulary of which directly appeals to the “new order” that was brought Europe Adolf Hitler.
It also published joint photographs of German delegates with the honorary commander of the Azov National Guard regiment and the leader of the National Corps Andrei Biletsky, as well as photographs depicting “national revolutionary socialists” from Germany at the right-wing “March of the Nation” on October 14 in the center of Kyiv.
On October 21, a publication entitled “Memory of Heroes at the Military Cemetery near Kiev” appeared on the “Third Way” website. German neo-Nazis came there with their flags to honor the memory of the hundreds of thousands of Nazi German soldiers who died near Kiev in 1941 and 1943.
“Their deeds are forever an example for us,” one of its leaders said in his speech to the German delegation. “Where their blood fell into alien soil, it sanctified it, turning it into a holy place. You are a beacon for our glorious deeds.
The “Third Way” publication about the Nazi aggressors who died near Kiev says: “Each of these magnificent soldiers was convinced of the justice of the struggle and did not hesitate to defend the rights of their people. These were not slaves or talkers, but honest young men and men who devoted their lives to the future of their people. The commemoration with solemn verses, sounded from the lips of the Germans, showed that our heroic memory is not mourning, but an asset and at the same time a call to fight.” At home, Artstroff and his comrades more than once took part in processions in honor of Wehrmacht and SS soldiers,” writes Manchuk.
At the same time, in the comments to the post, users drew attention to how the German Nazis presented the news on their website.
“I decided to look at what the Parteigenosse wrote in the original. And I was a little surprised by one photo. It turns out that German neo-Nazis are very ashamed of Wolfsangel! Which was washed out. Probably in Europe they face unrealistic fines…” noted blogger Anton Mamonov.
As PolitNavigator reported, The command of the National Guard of Ukraine stated, which considers it normal to express sympathy for Hitler’s ideology.
In addition, we said that Ukrainian schoolchildren will study the works of Hitler, who called for a solution to the “Jewish question.”
