Article/interview with Maurice Ludmer, published in the Guardian newspaper, in the Guardian Women column for February 25, 1980, page 8.
Written by Polly Toynbee. As candid an admission as you will find anywhere that, together with their goy fellow travellers, Organised Jewry exploit the suffering of their co-racialists – real and imagined – in order to destroy the precious freedoms our forefathers shed their precious blood to secure.
Ludmer is said to have seen at Belsen “a room full of human hair, and stuff made out of human skin.” And the non-existent gas chamber too, no doubt. The much maligned (though sorely misguided) Lady Birdwood, who was also at Belsen after the War – with the Red Cross – paints an entirely different picture of this camp and the real reasons for the terrible suffering its inmates – Jew and Gentile – endured in the last months of the War.
Searchlight was said to have a circulation of 4,000 at the time, a staff of mainly volunteers, and numerous “spies” in the “fascist” movement. Including agents provocateurs like Dave Roberts too, no doubt. Like his successor, Gable, Ludmer was a thoroughly evil man, and both the “fascist” movement and the Jews are well rid of him.
FOREWARNED AGAINST FASCISM, NO 8, April 1980
Pages 6-10 is a lengthy unsigned article in eight parts: COLUMN 88: THE NAZI UNDERGROUND
Page 9: training camps are said to have been held at various times and places including:
August 23-4, 1975 in Epping Forest, more than fifteen people in uniform including a woman attended.
September 30, Mersea in Essex
1976, Bedford
November 1975 and January 1976, Savernake
A July camp at Cambourne was said to be Column 88’s third in 18 months, and organised by Messrs Jenkin, Stone and Larchman.
The list continues on page 10.
Page also 10 lists a number of organisations to which Column 88 allegedly sent letter bombs; the magazine calls for a public commission of inquiry into the Nazi Underground.

The darker side of video viewing, by Gerry Gable, published in the Illustrated London News, July 1980, page 62.
No mention of anti-Semitism, strangely enough. This is a little fantasy about the alleged involvement of something called the Mafia in the video and dirty book trade.
WE EXPOSE THE NEW
NASTY NAZIS
Hate Squads are on the march again, by Andrew Drummond, published in the News of the World, July 6, 1980, page 1.
This story is continued on page 3 as SIEG HEIL CHANTS AT THE RALLY OF HATE with a small inset called The terror chiefs meet, by Adrian Needlestone.
Page 1: Ray Hill is said to be 31. Wrong.
Page 3: Hill is said to have been a leading National Front official. Column 88 said to have played a leading role in the proceedings when the “terror chiefs” met. Indeed.
The reporters claim to have seen “young Britons in swastika armbands beating up blacks.” At Diksmuide? This is obviously part and parcel of the media fantasy about wicked Nazis. This is not to say that such things never happen, but certainly nothing like this happened here.
