What are Nazis and do they even exist since May 1945? This film attempts to answer this question by looking into the past and the present. While some people would answer with a clear yes, this seems not to be accepted by everyone in the German population. Arguments like "just because I am a patriot, I don’t want to have extermination camps back." are repeatedly voiced. How does this reconcile with the current picture of rising numbers of crimes with an openly racist background?
With various interview partners including Markus Schäfert (Press Spokesperson of the Bavarian Office for the Protection of the Constitution), Martin Becher (Bavarian Alliance for Tolerance), Peter Ohlendorf (Director of "Blood Must Flow"), Felix Benneckenstein (defector from the neo-Nazi scene), and many more, this question is examined from different angles. Some vague answers and some very clear statements from the interviewees allow the viewer to come to their own conclusions. New questions are also raised.
"Why is no one talking about this?"
"Why do people stockpile kilograms of explosives, train with weapons in the woods, etc., if they actually have no plans?"
"We are here to clarify the structures in the various extremist scenes even before crimes occur." Yes? NSU ????
Musically, this is underscored by the Dorks, who provide the soundtrack with their song "System of Shame."
The film was produced by the film group of the Youth Office Burghausen. Even though one can certainly notice at times that it is not a professional team, it is on par with other documentaries that have significantly higher budgets. In terms of content, it is even much more substantial than documentaries like Spiegel TV, so one should definitely take the time to watch this film in its brief hour. For a small donation, it can be obtained at the Youth Office Burghausen starting from May 9, 2016, or at concerts by the Dorks at the merch.
