German Federal Court Prohibits Infamous Neo-Nazi Symbol

When we first started writing about the symbolism of the international fascist underground, people came out of the woodwork to argue that one symbol in particular (the symbol that’s visible on Vlaams Belang leader Filip DeWinter’s bookshelf in the video on this page), known as the “Celtic Cross” or “Odin’s Cross,” was completely meaningless—an innocuous symbol used by Europeans in perfectly innocent ways for many years.

Well, last Friday that meaningless, harmless symbol was prohibited by Germany’s Federal Court. (A translated version.)

The cross on DeWinter’s bookshelf:

The Odin’s Cross was also prominently displayed on the door of that neo-Nazi café at which the Vlaams Belang held an event, and in front of which Filip DeWinter is pictured on this page.
