They are networked and dangerous. Because therefore they are observed by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution. The documentary goes on exploration, analyzes their historical roots and describes their influence in today's burgeoning right-wing scene.

But the club's management said no when they found out about the man's political background.
