Hate. Power. Violence

From neo-Nazi to biker boss: the harrowing and highly topical life story of Philip Schlaffer

Large fan community on Youtube, active social media community and sustained media interest

A former Nazi and red-light biker reveals all.

Far right extremism, biker clubs and red-light milieu: they were the stations in Philip Schlaffer’s previous life. As a youth he was part of the violent neo-Nazi scene; later he established a far-right fellowship in Wismar and produced right-wing rock. Alcohol, violence and confrontation with the police shaped his daily life. His criminal career in Wismar progressed; he became the leader of the motorbike gang and organised drug selling and prostitution. Finally, after 20 years, he managed to leave criminality and extremism, and decided that from then on he would work against hate, violence and xenophobia. Candidly and harrowingly, he recounts the story of his hard life - a very topical insider report from the far-right scene, which does not excuse or downplay anything but seeks to enlighten and warn.
