Part IV of the SWC Operation Report

                            FINDINGS

A.   Enforcement of laws

     1.   Germany has passed a series of laws over the years to
          prevent attempts at Nazi revivalism.  These laws are
          not always enforced, however.  In some cases, neo-Nazis
          have actually been tipped off in advance about
          impending police raids.  Such is the case of Heinz
          Reisz, who told Ron Furey that an official in Hesse's
          state police (whose name he does not even know) has
          saved him considerable trouble by warning him that the
          police were on the way. (See entry "Deep Throat")

     2.   Constantin Mayer leads the Dresden area cell of the
          "Nationale Offensive," a group that was recently banned
          by the government.  Although Mayer says he is under
          constant surveillance, he says he has cordial relations
          with the police and conducts his business with them
          "with a wink and a nod."  (See entry Constantin Mayer)

     3.   Reisz's brother-in-law operates a video studio in
          Langen which produces Nazi propaganda.  Yet the studio
          continues to operate.  (See entry D. Warmt)

     4.   One woman, a retired police inspector, was presented by
          Wolfgang Juchem to Ron Furey and Rick Eaton as an
          example of his support among respectable Germans.
          (Juchem is seeking to take over and unify all of
          Germany's right wing.)  (See entry Sigrid Schenk)

     5.   One neo-Nazi leader, Meinolf Schoenborn, has been
          raided by the police on several occasions.  They've
          obtained his computerized membership list - a phoney,
          prepared in advance from a local phone directory to
          confuse the authorities.  (See entry for Meinolf
          Schoenborn)


B.   ESTIMATES OF NEO-NAZI MEMBERSHIP

     The Office for the Protection of the Constitution is the
     official German government agency which monitors the
     activities of the radical right.  Its estimates of
     membership in various neo-Nazi organizations in Germany are
     low.  For example:

     1.   The Freiheitliche Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, run by
          notorious neo-Nazi Friedhelm Busse, is estimated by the
          Office for Protection of the Constitution at 150
          members.  Yet while ingratiating himself with Busse,
          Ron Furey was shown Busse's list - 980 members.  Busse
          even claims he has thrown out another 150 for
          alcoholism.  (See entry for Friedhelm Busse)

     2.   While the government estimates that another group, the
          Nationale Offensive, has 100 members, Ron Furey found
          out that the Dresden area cell alone has 150.  (See
          entry for Mayer)

     3.   Meinolf Schoenborn's "Nationalistic Front," which is
          also banned, is estimated at 130 members.  Schoenborn
          claims an infrastructure of 8,600.  Even if Schoenborn
          is overdoing it, it is apparent from information
          obtained through an interview between Ron Furey and
          Schoenborn that the 130 figure is overly conservative.
          (See entry for Schoenborn)

     Furthermore, the image of the supporters of the radical
     right does not always conform to the street-thug stereotype.
     (See entries for Juchem, Schenk, Klaren, Hammelback,
     Marliany, Walz)


C.   NAZI LEADERSHIP

     Many names have been given by the press and the German
     government over the years as the top Nazi leadership.  Some
     of these people, however, are not in the leadership
     positions they once were.

     The most significant find of the trip was that one Wolfgang
     Juchem, who has a squeaky-clean record and 30 years of
     service to his country, is considered by many to be the
     odds-on favorite to restore the radical right's tarnished
     image.  (see entry for Wolfgang Juchem)


D.   INTERNATIONAL LINKS

1.   The Center attached an answering machine to a cold line
     announcing to any potential caller that he or she had
     reached The (fictional magazine) Right Way.  This was done
     to provide credibility to Ron Furey's cover should anyone
     decide to check up on his persona as a journalist.

     On Friday, February 12, 1993, that phone rang - it was Mark
     Weber of the Institute for Historical Review, the notorious
     organization dedicated to the proposition that the gas
     chambers of Auschwitz are a myth.  He had called to obtain a
     copy of The Right Way.  Now, the only people who knew that
     number were Ron Furey, the Center's senior research staff,
     and the neo-Nazis in Germany to whom it had been given.
     Furthermore, several of these people claimed to know Weber
     quite well.  (See entries for Kempkens, Godenau, Weber, and
     Carto),


2.   Roy Godenau's contacts with Iraq and Khadaffi (see entry for
     Godenau).

3.   Reinhard Kopps, a former Abwehr (World War II German
     military intelligence) officer who worked for, and escaped
     to South America via the "ratline," maintains links with the
     radical right throughout the world.  Kopps, who employs
     Godenau, (see entry) provided Mr. Eaton with a letter of
     introduction to a contact in Luxembourg who could be trusted
     to launder and distribute funds to various neo-Nazi groups
     in Germany.  Kopps also suggested that Mr. Eaton consider
     employing Mark Weber (see entry) for a separate project.
