Action Front of National Socialists/National Activists
- Action Front of National Socialists/National Activists
The Action Front of National Socialists/National Activists (German: "Aktionsfront Nationaler Sozialisten/Nationale Aktivisten"; abbreviated ANS/NA) was a German neo-Nazi organization.
The group was founded in 1977 by Michael Kühnen under the name "Action Front of National Socialists" (ANS) as a legal branch of the NSDAP/AO. In 1978 and 1979, most of the leaders of the organization were arrested. On January 15, 1983 the organization merged with the National Activists ("Nationale Aktivisten"), an organization led by Thomas Brehl. Still led by Michael Kühnen, it now worked under the name ANS/NA. The ANS/NA was organized in thirty "comradeships" ("Kameradschaften") in the areas North, South, West and Middle. It had contacts to several other groups such as the Viking-Youth (Wiking-Jugend).
The ANS/NA was banned by the Ministry of the Interior on November 24, 1983 and officially disbanded on December 7. At the time it had about 240 members.
Kühnen and other leaders in the organization tried to continue the structures of the organization. Many members of the organization then also infiltrated the then insignificant Free German Workers' Party (Freie Deutsche Arbeiterpartei; FAP) and attempted to found new organizations such as the Committee for the Preparation of the Celebrations to Adolf Hitler's 100th Birthday ("Komitee zur Vorbereitung der Feierlichkeiten zum 100. Geburtstag Adolf Hitlers"; KAH).
In 1993, Christian Worch, also a leader of the organization, was a convicted to 2 years' incarceration for having continued this illegal group.
