Hate Symbol

Hate on Display / German Soldier

Since World War II, neo-Nazis and some other white supremacists have adopted the image of a World War II-era German soldier as a symbol.  In particular, images of Waffen SS soldiers (perceived as Hitler's elite "supermen") are popular.  A popular variation is a tattoo depicting a Viking warrior, a Waffen SS soldier, and a racist skinhead side by side; such images associate the modern racist skinhead with his perceived "white warrior" forebears.
