effective anti-fascist and antiracist work, it was - as before -
necessary to retrieve the protagonists of right-extremist ideologies
and organizations from their anonymity, and to identify them
by name:

Northeim (Lower Saxony) committed an arson attack on the
house of the former Land Chairman of the - banned - "Freiheitliche

"THIS IS A BLOW AGAINST THE INFRSTRUCTURE OF

LEADER OF THE NORTHEIM COMRADESHIP AND THE

"Chase the Nazis, and also beat them - destroy the entire bloody
system!"; and
"Anti-fascist resistance: united stand - there is no untroubled
