Shield And Sword
Schild und Schwert (Shield and Sword) is a Neo-Nazi rock music festival held in Germany to celebrate the birthday of Adolf Hitler. The festival is organized by the ultra-nationalist political group the National Democratic Party (NPD). The event is held in Ostritz in Eastern Saxony. The festival is attended by far-right extremists from Germany and neighboring countries. The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (Bundesverfassungsschutz) mentioned that "the festival has particular importance for the sub-cultural right-wing extremist scene". In 2018, the Neo-fascist mixed martial arts scene and the music scene were united for the first time at the festival by the MMA event "Kampf der Nibelungen". 2018
