I went on one of their “patrols” in 2000 to Daytona Beach. I met Erich Topp, Siegfried Koitschka, and members of Kretschmer’s U-99 crew. I wouldn’t have traded the experience for the world.
They get panned as a far-right extremist group by the SPLC (so of course credible). Absolute garbage. There were American vets and Russian vets, including an admiral, along. They respect history, and that includes honoring the dead on the German side, which is beyond the pale for those accusing it of extremism.
