[edit] "illegal in germany"

The records of this band seem to be "indiziert", which pretty much means "not to be sold to people under 18 (also, don't advertise for it)". This is not exactly "illegal". I don't know details, just saying in case any of you cares enough for this article to put some research into it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.135.73.191 (talk • contribs)

Well, the singer was imprisoned for being a member of the band, which sounds like a more severe application of law that merely indexing would be. --65.182.51.67 05:37, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

He was imprisoned for Nazi sympathies and/or holocaust denial and racial hatered, not for being a member of the band. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.222.241.61 (talk • contribs)

He indeed is in prison for being member of the band, because "Landser" was seen as "terroristische Vereinigung" (terrorist union) which is punishable by the German law. And the records not just on the index they are also "Beschlagnamt" (confiscated), which means possessing this records is a crime itself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.76.62.1 (talk • contribs)

That's right. The band was called a "terroristic organization", the "terror" is their music. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.135.233.145 (talk • contribs)

Some of the CD's (almost all i guess.. with one (?) exception) are BANNED in Germany. Banned means illegal. "Indiziert" (indicated) means no advertise or public trade. Banned is illegal,banned.. No advertise,no selling and the posession is illegal. -87.174.116.13 19:06, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] No sources

The one source given in this article lists 'Wikipedia' as its source. Whoops! Deleted. Colonel Mustard 14:40, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

This page is far from unbiased. Landser does not call for violence against most other races in their music as the author had written. This is obviously just a byproduct of hatred against Nationalists. 66.38.169.238 23:30, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Do you even speak German? -- Tim

You're right. The problem is they're too good to be legal!--172.145.151.148 06:08, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Lol, cry more neonazis.

[edit] "the defintion of Landser"

using wikipedia, it seems to me that Landser is a colloquial term for Landsknecht, or land, servant

going along with their politcal beliefs, most notably nationalism - I would assume the actual meaning behind the name is "servant of our land" or something like that

maybe someone with more authority could research it and figure it out for certain, but it seems to name their band after a low-ranking foot soldier wouldn't have as much meaning to them as the folk term "land servant" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.116.132.101 (talk) 20:01, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Finally someone made the page accurate, good job. 66.38.169.238 07:34, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
