Hitler loving Neo-Nazi teenage terrorist dodges jail after downloading manuals to create bombs

A teenage Neo-Nazi terrorist has dodged jail for downloading manuals to create bombs and Molotov cocktails.

The fresh faced fascist fanatic - who committed his first terror offence when he was 13 years-old - also amassed other electronic documents giving instructions on how to make napalm, Molotov cocktails, learn knife fighting skills and how to build an AK47 assault rifle using readily available supplies.

The twisted teen was given a 24 month youth rehabilitation order - a community sentence with strict requirements.

Jenny Hopkins, from the Crown Prosecution Service, said: “People will rightly be disturbed that a 13 year-old should hold the most appalling neo-Nazi beliefs and start collecting manuals on bomb-making and firearms.

“He claimed not to have racist views and just wanted to appear ‘cool’, but the body of evidence led to him pleading guilty to possession and dissemination of terrorist material.”

The teen from Cornwall was the British head of an international online neo-Nazi group called Feuerkrieg Division (FKD). The British cell was called FKD_GB and was formed in June 2019, when he was just 14. At the time of his arrest a month later it had six members.

When police arrested him at the home of his grandmother, who he lived with, they found a Nazi flag and “1488” painted on the shed. The number is a Nazi rallying cry.

The “14” refers to a white supremacist slogan and the “88” to the eighth letter of the alphabet – HH – or “Heil Hitler”.

On various far right chat forums in 2019 he posted messages about killing gay people, Jews and non-white people using nail bombs, firearms and other methods.

He told arresting officers that he did not have racist, homophobic or anti-Semitic views but wanted “to look cool” and “to look like he was doing something for the cause”.

He pleaded guilty to two counts of disseminating terrorist publications and 10 counts of possessing such publications.

The more serious dissemination offences related to sharing a poster of a nuclear explosion over the Houses of Parliament in the context of praising those who commit racially motivated mass murder.

He also shared a 432-page guerrilla warfare manual that advocated murder and rape with the leader of the FKD, who was known as “Commander”.

Prosecution evidence presented to the Old Bailey during his sentencing described how the FKD views all non-white people as “sub-humans” and its stated desire is for a “white jihad”.
