Neo-Nazi flash mobs bombarding German cities

Applying Nazi methods to the "Digital Age," the group, calling themselves "Die Unsterblichen" (The Immortals), stages flash mobs in cities across Germany and then circulates the footage on YouTube in an effort to achieve "immortality."

Several videos of the fascist protests, many of which have received tens of thousands of views, conclude with the slogan "Make your short life immortal," or "So that those to come don't forget that you were German."

The "high-tech mob" organizes their marches via text messages so authorities have a more difficult task at figuring out where they will turn up next, CNN reported. The group's website encourages others to organize similar flash mob demonstrations, in order to "become immortal."

According to Die Zeit, the group uses the outdated word "Volkstod" on their signs, intentionally recalling the days of National Socialism. The word, meaning “National Death” has been used by neo-Nazis to describe what they perceive as the degradation of the German race under democratic governments and in a multicultural state.

Police have searched over a dozen homes of neo-Nazi members in hopes of uncovering the group’s central leadership.
