Unit 88

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the New Zealand neo-Nazi organisation. For the Albanian counter terrorist group that also went by this name see RENEA.

Unit 88 is a minor neo-Nazi organisation based in Auckland, New Zealand. The movement was investigated by the Race Relations Office for distributing pro-Nazi literature in 1997. [1]. Largely a racist skinhead movement of around 100 members, links have been alleged between Unit 88 and Colin King-Ansell.

The number 88 comes from the fact that "H" is the eighth letter of the alphabet, hence "88" equals "HH", or "Heil Hitler!"
