Traitors will hang
The author of the text analyzed the possibilities of fighting along the lines of the American anti-Semitic violent organization The Order in the Czech environment, but came to the conclusion that they would not yet be feasible. As a possibility of combat training, he suggested cooperation with a certain national socialist organization from the post-Soviet republics. He stated that there were veterans from Afghanistan and former KGB spies there who could instruct interested parties in encryption and diversion. He saw the current infiltration and corruption of police forces as a more suitable alternative, which would then help neo-Nazis. He also stated that “the day will come when traitors appearing daily on TV will be hanged and their children will fall under the curse for the crimes of their parents”. Although it is not known that this text influenced specific neo-Nazis to carry out the recommended activities, the recommendations at the time raised concerns about the growth of organized militant tendencies. In the following years, there was indeed close cooperation between neo-Nazis from the Czech Republic and some countries in the former Soviet Union.
„In the Internet there were also web-sites of an association known as Nordfront. The web-sites offer to interested parties NS games, MP3, war artefacts, ‘zines, comics or information on Celts and Vikings, and the opportunity to publish articles and opinions. The sites presented especially an article dealing with the tactics of the fight of “patriots” under the name “Options of Our Current Combat.“
