Michael Swierczek

Michael Swierczek (born 1961 in Hanover) is a German politician who lives in Munich.

Swierczek began his political career as a member of the Young National Democratic Party of Germany (NPD).^[1] He was one of the leaders of the Freien Nationalisten before taking over the leadership of the Munich Kameradschaft of the Action Front of National Socialists/National Activists (ANS/NA). Swierczek then threw his lot in with the Free German Workers' Party (FAP), serving that group as both Vice General Secretary and chair of the FAP-Landesverbandes Bayern.^[2]

Swierczek split from the FAP in 1990 and formed his own group,

historical revisionism, organising events that featured David Irving and other leading figures as speakers.^[3] However this group, which was mostly active in Bavaria and Saxony, was banned by the Federal Minister of the Interior on 22 December 1992.^[4]

Following the outlawing of National Offensive, Swierczek continued in his attempts to organise extremist movements. After attempting to reconvene the ANS/NA he was tried before the Stuttgart regional court and, on 7 May 1995, was sentenced to 15 months imprisonment for trying to restart this banned group.^[5] He has subsequently returned to the NPD.^[2]
