- How the AfD attempts to whitewash fascism. Is AfD that extreme? 1 yr ago, (Barely Informed).
In just 10 years, the far-right AfD went from being a fringe party, seen as too extreme to be a real threat, to the 2nd most popular party in Germany. (41:50 min).

Many see the AfD as inheritors of the Nazi Movement with law enforcement and intelligence services having declared several of its branches confirmed extremist organizations while the overall party is still under investigation.
