Activity

Placed great emphasis on the organization of the finding to be, but to stand in their thinking and work permanently in the present time no group of " Germanic - Romantics ". The active work of the AHF was based roughly on three pillars: the " field work ", so researching and cataloging the pre-Christian places of worship, the "propaganda" with creation of magazines, maintenance of websites and sales philosophical books and magazines as well as the "common experience " important Germanic festivals, joint excursions into nature and to interesting sites.

In its self-presentation, they formulated anti-Christian and nationalist positions " The Allgermanische Pagan Front has set as a goal the Antichristianisierung the movement to unite all activists under one flag and einzuschwören on one thing. " And "We consider Christianity as a faint of the Germanic peoples, because the Christian foundations are created so that weakness and glorifies strength is ignored. ", open it says" Our battle is considered the creation of a large Germania. "

Although the AHF refused militant practices, but was one of the most radical and uncompromising, but at the same time also one of the most active groups in the neo-pagan scene. Unlike many other groups they sought to no co-existence with Christianity, but regarded it as their enemy who must be fought and ultimately defeated because it was incompatible with the nature of the European people. The individualism and hedonism of today's Western world was strictly rejected. The motto of the AHF, "Blood, soil, spirituality " ( blood, soil, Spirituality '), is a clear commitment to the blood - and - soil ideology of the Nazis. The ideals of AHF contradict the principle of equality, they promoted an idea of ​​the " inherent diversity of human types " and declined to mixing thereof.
