Gunter Deckert (1940-2022) R.I.P., German Nationalist & Free Speech Warrior

Günter Deckert 1940-2022

H&D is shocked and saddened to report that our great friend and comrade Günter Deckert, former leader of Germany’s nationalist party NPD, has died aged 82. In fact those readers who knew Günter will appreciate that we could never really believe he was 82 years old, let alone that he has died. Günter always seemed the most energetic and committed comrade in the room, even when surrounded by fellow nationalists decades younger.

Born in January 1940 Günter Deckert developed a talent for languages as a very young man, first visiting London and staying with an English family in the 1950s (which was also when he first encountered British nationalists, when he happened upon a street rally of Sir Oswald Mosley’s Union Movement). He went on to study English, French and other languages at the universities of Heidelberg, Kiel and Montpellier.

A young Günter Deckert was an activist in the West German liberal party FDP from 1962-1964.

For twenty years (from 1968 to 1988) he taught English and French at German schools and colleges, until he was dismissed for political reasons. In fact the authorities had tried three times to dismiss him, but the first two attempts were defeated in the courts.

Some readers might be surprised that his initial political activism was with West Germany’s liberal party the Free Democrats (FDP) in the early 1960s, though at that time (for complicated historical reasons) it was not unusual for German nationalists (and for that matter old national-socialists) to be in the FDP.

Günter first joined the NPD in 1966 and was active during its most successful election campaigns of the late 1960s, when the party was led by Mosley’s close friend and ally Adolf von Thadden. He was a parliamentary (Bundestag) candidate for the first time in 1972 and went on to contest many federal, state and local elections. One of his best election results was in 1974 when he received more than 25% of the vote in Weinheim’s mayoral election. From 1975 to 1999 and from 2019 until his death he was a municipal councillor in Weinheim, sometimes for the NPD and sometimes for the ‘Deutsche Liste’ which he created during a time when he was forced to relinquish NPD membership.

Just a few weeks before he died, Günter posted his party’s official video response to the Weinheim city council budget and would have been an election candidate again this year. Last month (shortly before his illness) he was expelled from the council chamber by police for allegedly ‘racist’ comments during a speech criticising the council budget.

Günter was elected leader of the NPD – Germany’s largest nationalist party – in 1991, and remained party leader until 2005.

Following a conference in 1991 where Günter was translator for the American revisionist Fred Leuchter, he was prosecuted for ‘inciting racial hatred’. Even though he was actually translating someone else’s words, prosecutors argued that he had translated too sympathetically and had therefore committed a crime.

Günter’s case was a landmark in German legal history, because though at first convicted he won on appeal. This victory was because the appeal court ruled ‘Holocaust denial’ was not by itself criminal. In response the German parliament changed the law, making ‘Holocaust denial’ itself an offence. Consequently Günter was tried again in 1995, convicted and sentenced to five years in prison.

He was imprisoned at Bruchsal from 1995 to 2000, then again for five months at Mannheim prison early in 2013.

Günter Deckert was my first German comrade. We first met in 1993 when he addressed the BNP annual rally, and we later spoke together on many platforms in Britain, Germany and France. He addressed numerous meetings of British comrades in London, Yorkshire and elsewhere in England.

Last autumn we met (and were again fellow speakers) for the last time. It seems impossible to believe that I shall never see Günter Deckert again, but his irrepressible spirit will continue to inspire our activism for decades to come.

An obituary to Günter Deckert will appear in the next edition of H&D.

LADY MICHELLE RENOUF’S SPEECH TO “DON’T BAN THE NPD RALLY” IN LONDON, FEB. 27

LADY MICHELLE RENOUF’S SPEECH TO “DON’T BAN THE NPD RALLY” IN LONDON, FEB. 27

27th February 2016 – RENOUF speech delivered and recorded opposite the German Embassy in London, in defence of the non-banning of the NPD Party.
 
 
German Embassy diplomats, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN here today and viewing on the worldwide internet,
 
The question of the day is: WHY IN THE WORLD DOES GERMANY NEED THE N.P.D.?
 
I keenly answer, by echoing the NPD’s 3 REASONS, in their own words:
 
1) DEMOCRACY REQUIRES RIGHT TO BE OFFERED A REAL POLITICAL CHOICE.
 
2) RIGHT OF NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY.
 
3) RIGHT TO A NATIONAL RACIAL IDENTITY AND CONSEQUENT AUTHENTIC CULTURE – because RACE AND NATIONAL CULTURES sustain the DIVERSE NATIVE BEAUTY OF OUR PLANET.
 
 
Briefly an outline:
 
1) DEMOCRACY … as we understand it, is meant to offer citizens political choices. 
 
The existence of the NPD duly alerts Germans ( and likewise other European countries ) that none uphold democracy while ever nationalist parties are media-sidelined, suffer mendacious reportage without a just re-dress; are criminally infiltrated in order to entrap, sabotage and misrepresent their policies ; and remain under threat of being banned.
 
To quote from the NPD’s website:
“An open political process and a legally protected process of political opinion-forming (the indispensable foundation of a free democratic order) is threatened by the impending monopolisation of politics, due to the lust for power of well-organised interest groups.
 
“This is already well under way, though covered up or glossed over by politically biased coverage in the public media of the mass immigration and consequent conflict in Germany – in a ubiquitous process of undermining parliamentary democracy, with Chancellor Merkel transforming Germany into a multiethnic state through the lowering of German borders without even a Cabinet decision, let alone a vote in Parliament.  In fact it is not the policy of Merkel’s critics that is “extremist”, but government policy itself that is “extremist”. “
2). The NPD works to alert the German people ( and likewise other nations ) that they have no SOVEREIGNTY under the European Union.
 
To quote from the NPD website:
“In several places in Germany’s constitution – the “Basic Law” – there is mention of the concept of the German people.  The very legitimacy of state power derives from this concept of a German people, with an inherent German ethnicity.
 
Even a former Constitutional Court judge Udo di Fabio recently pointed out that the government could not go ahead and create a new German people via unlimited immigration, as in that case state power would no longer derive legitimacy from the bottom up – government would be taking on itself the right to alter the size and composition of the nation state, in what a well-known constitutional lawyer Josef Isensee in 1999 (addressing the issue of dual citizenship) called a “constitutional coup from above”).“ – an unidentified “above” governance, at that!

3). NATIONAL IDENTITY:

A country denied its sovereignty is also thereby denied its national right to its racial identity.  To quote from the NPD website, in a letter to German police and armed forces from NPD party chairman Frank Franz ( Herr Franz, an able and respectable spokesman, with whom I have had the pleasure of meeting and discussing these issues firsthand), said:

“The police and armed forces fulfil an essential task of great importance in today’s society.  Their tasks face drastic transformation in the foreseeable future.  A new development is potentially shattering the stability of our community: namely the toleration of a gigantic abuse of our asylum law, which can destroy irretrievably that character of Germany’s population, society and culture.  The mass occupation via “asylum” and the risk of infiltration by radical jihadists presents problems which inevitably leave their mark on the everyday work of the police and army.”

Frank Franz wrote:
“This ‘population exchange’ affects us all, as does the termination of our independent statehood by the EU integration process which is intrinsically hostile to sovereignty.  Those in government service should be attentive when transitory political developments threaten the fundamentals of the State’s constitution.
[quoting from the Basic Law]Article 20 para 2:  All state authority emanates from the people. Articles 56 and 64: the President, Chancellor and Ministers undertake on oath to act “for the benefit of the German people”.

The very integrity and identity of that German People is at stake due to the diminishing of national self-determination and the alienation of the public.
The manner in which political criticism is made into a suspicious activity, represents a violation of human dignity and a sacrifice of free expression.

One must raise the question: to what extent does E.U. asylum policy contravene the stipulations of the Basic Law concerning “the benefit of the German people”?  Has it indeed contravened this already?

As there has so far been no comparable historical experience, …this is probably the first time in the history of the Federal Republic that it is conceivable for public servants to have to bear in mind Article 20 Para 4 of the Basic Law, which states that:  “if no other remedy is possible, Germans have the right to resist against anyone who seeks to abolish the constitutional order.”
============

As to the ongoing court-case TO BAN the NPD, the website informs that:
“NPD’s lawyer Peter Richter will argue at outset of proceedings on March 1st that the case for banning the party is so tainted by the activities of German spy agencies that there is no legitimate case to be made against the NPD.

“After the failure of a similar banning process 12 years ago – ruled unconstitutional because of the extent of German state spying operations against the party and the role of highly placed state agents – this time the state agencies have claimed that they closed down all agents operating above a certain level in the party.

“But there is absolutely no guarantee that they have complied with this order.  The NPD is very dubious about a process that involves legal submissions “in camera”.

“The party will therefore attempt to have the case struck out on legal and constitutional grounds, but is also prepared if necessary to address each of the documents brought in evidence by the state and bring its own motions to introduce defence evidence.”

[ Of course, as I have witnessed first hand in courtrooms in Germany, one is reminded of the ubiquitous film “Dinner for One”, since all Germans laugh to see it screening as a standing joke on their TVs every New Years’.  The matriarchal character – like the courtroom judges when asked by lawyers if evidential exhibits may be presented in defence of their “opinion crime” clients – she proclaims “No!  It is to be the same procedure every year!”!! ]

IN SUM: 

The NPD does VITAL WORK in alerting the Germans – and likewise the world – that NATO and its military bases in all our countries, act not as a deterrent, but makes us targets for Zionist-lead America’s war-mongering which has created all these mutually undesired mass migrations of peoples from other lands to Europe – an unnatural migration which will bring neither peoples their necessary human sense of “ancestral home”. Humans, as with homing pigeons and other creatures on our planet, have a natural instinct for, and comforting group identity with, their ancestral “homeland”. No good can come of denying us what Nature provides in our best group interests. 

On today’s news we hear Chancellor Merkel admit that she is “uncertain where the registered migrants are”… much less all the unregistered millions she has unilaterally welcomed, and wishes to invite in their tens of millions into Germany.  I have heard from ordinary German citizens, overwhelmed by the colossal migrant invasion upon their towns and villages, that they feel betrayed and abused by Merkel’s tyrannical imposition of her democratic-disdaining, nation-changing policy.  Thank goodness that we have the NPD to alert us to the full circumstances and consequences of this devastating onslaught on our Nature. 

Long live the NPD for all our sakes in Europe!!
