My German friends have told me for years that Nazis never went away. They are not “far-right”, they’re not neo-Nazis, they are Nazis. Gotta call them by their real name. Because this is real in Germany and also internationally and it should not be played down, like AfD is doing.

The thing is that the neo-nazi description is also correct as members of the actual "neo-nazi" movement formerly spread all over Western Germany moved to East Germany after 1990 to organize there (and given the much lower population numbers finally become a substantial amount of the population).

Where can I read more about neo nazis spreading to east Germany after 1990?

Google is your friend as that topic is widely discussed for years (so "neo nazis germany 1990 reunion" or something alike should get you enough).

But for a start (and one of the first hits i got): NY Times, 2020
