German scene warning

Young Nazi wants to make a career in the army

A selfie with the Hitler salute, Nazi pictures and other "stupidities" have been accused of National Socialist reactivation by a 20-year-old Carinthian soldier. But that's not all: the German Office for the Protection of the Constitution has issued warnings about the extent to which the far-right scene is also organized in Austria.

This is the third time that a 20-year-old from Carinthia with right-wing extremist tendencies has come to the attention of the domestic Office for the Protection of the Constitution - twice he has been let go, mainly because he was still a schoolboy and there was supposed to be hope for improvement. However, he is now in the army and carries a weapon. The new charges brought him before the jury. And the trial may not have been the last.
