Gesinnungsgemeinschaft der Neuen Front

Gesinnungsgemeinschaft der Neuen Front

Gesinnungsgemeinschaft der Neuen Front (GdNF) is a German organisation that was the main group for neo-Nazi activity during the 1990s.

The GdNF was formed in 1984 by Michael Kühnen, Thomas Brehl and Christian Worch after the banning of the Action Front of National Socialists/National Activists. Initially a loose group based around the magazine "Die Neue Front", the GdNF was soon formalised into an organisation, taking in most of the membership of the ANS/NA. The group placed itself within the more radical Sturmabteilung tradition of Nazism rather than simple devotion to Adolf Hitler.

When Kühnen came out in 1986 the GdNF remained loyal to him in the resulting split, althogh the group lost control of the Free German Workers' Party and the organisation of celebrations for Hitler's 100th birthday. However the group continued to improve its organisational basis despite this set-back, staging marches, paramilitary training and setting up cells in the German Democratic Republic.

The death of Kühnen in 1991 saw leadership of the GdNF, which had about 400 fully active members, pass to Worch, Winfried Arnulf Priem and Austrian neo-Nazi leader Gottfried Küssel. However without Kühnen the group went into terminal decline and became lost in a sea of similar groups that were formed in the 1990s due to ever closer government scrutiny of neo-Nazi activities. With Worch jailed in 1996 and other important figures such as Thomas Brehl starting up their own groups the GdNF gradually passed out of existence.
