Left-Extremist Endeavours

annoyed at having their coach damaged, it doesn’t really harm
them. The only success would be to achieve that at some
future time coaches will no longer be hired to them. This also
makes much more sense than trying to attack the Nazis
directly."
("INTERIM", no. 467 of 14 January 1999)
Moreover, the unknown authors went on to say, anti-fascist actions
need not be confined to the immediate surroundings of a
march:
"There also is the option to become active at home, e.g. by
visiting private homes or going for the cars left there by Nazis
travelling by coach. This offers the advantage that stress
created by copper presence is much more improbable than at
the sites of such rallies."
A success, in the view of the scene, were the protests - controlled,
in a way geared to the given situation, by means of "info
centres" and mobile phones - against a demonstration organized
by the "Junge Nationaldemokraten" (JN - Young National-Democrats)
in connection with the so-called "Wehrmacht Exhibition"
["The War of Extermination. The German Army’s Crimes against War
Prisoners, Jews and Other Civilians in the East 1941 - 1944"] in Kiel
on 30 January. Autonomists threw stones, cans and bottles at JN
supporters. With burning garbage containers and overturned
cars, they tried to block the JN’s path. They damaged several
police patrol cars, a camera van of the TV station Norddeutscher
Rundfunk (ndr), buses of the Kiel municipal transport company, a
supermarket and two bank branch offices. Five police officers
were injured.
Clandestine Actions Clandestine militant action - i.e. attacks covertly prepared and
carried out - is designed and planned much more methodically
than mass militancy; such attacks - mostly directed against
property - are often justified in letters claiming responsibility. An
attack typical of this form of action occurred in Hamburg in the
night from 14 to 15 February. Unidentified persons committed an
arson attack on the official car of the Senator of the Interior,
which was parked in front of the residential building. The car was
completely destroyed; adjacent houses were slightly damaged. In
a letter claiming responsibility, the perpetrators justified their
attack with the approach taken by the Senate [city-state parliament
of Hamburg] with regard to the migrants issue and the problems
regarding dealers in the city’s social hot spots.
