there's a gif going around of a guy tearing a nazi flag. and ig it's cool but im tired of fictional usamerican movies abt the german occupation so here are two examples of real historical anti-nazi actions in Warsaw:

1944, Warsaw Uprising (not the same as the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising). Stanisław Bala "Giza" takes down the nazi flag from the Polish bank

1942, drawn by a scout. i think i don't have to explain

similar to the painting above, the slogan "Nur für Deutsche" ("only for Germans") was being written on lampposts as a threat (yk, hanging). it came from the same sentence being used by the german occupation to indicate a place was segregated and exclusive to Germans

such actions are examples of "little sabotage", which included smaller actions like graffiting, flag tearing, disrupting german events – done by young people, many of whom died in armed fighting against the german occupier

feel free to add more examples from around the world and

support liberation fighters everywhere always 🔻

Brazilian agency retains employee who made gesture similar to Nazi salute

The employee of the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa), Marcelo Costa Mota, aged 46, remains on the institution’s staff 78 days after CENARIUM revealed a photo in which he appears making a gesture similar to the “Sieg Heil” salute used by Adolf Hitler in the totalitarian German regime during the Second World War (1939–1945). The company informed the report on Wednesday, 16th, that the man is undergoing a disciplinary process, expected to conclude in May 2025.

CENARIUM consulted data available on the transparency portal, which showed that Marcelo Costa is allocated to the Information Technology Centre of Embrapa Western Amazon and receives a gross salary of R$12,800 — around R$10,500 after deductions from the payroll. The table shows the employee was paid in January, February and March this year.

On Wednesday, 16th, in a new statement, the company pointed out that prior to the opening of the procedure, during a Summary Preliminary Investigation (IPS), Embrapa’s Internal Affairs Office “ascertained that the events occurred outside the work environment, with no link to the Company, and should therefore be subject to criminal rather than administrative investigation.” The statement also notes that the Federal Police (PF) was notified about the case in January this year.

Man who invaded synagogue and left Nazi symbols is arrested in Manaus, Brazil

A man identified as André Elias Almeida Soares, 39, was arrested on the morning of Wednesday, the 9th, for invading a synagogue located in the centre of Manaus (AM), last Monday, the 7th. In addition to the attack, the man left texts alluding to the Nazi swastika on the wall of the religious temple.

The act was recorded by security cameras. According to information provided by the Civil Police of Amazonas (PC-AM) in a press conference, the man attempted to contact the rabbi of the location and, unsuccessfully, posted papers with printed Nazi symbols.

Investigations also revealed that the material left by the suspect contained links leading to photo files simulating sexual abuse against children. Videos containing threats to public authorities were also found.

Previously, André was seen walking through the campus of the Federal University of Amazonas (Ufam), on 21 March, with a replica firearm, known as an “airsoft”. On that occasion, the institution’s security guards were called.

‘One people, one Reich’: neo-Nazi groups spread in Brazil’s south

Far-right extremism rises in historic German areas with raised-arm salute defended as ‘culturally common’ gesture

Maria Tereza Capra’s life took a terrifying turn last year when she received death threats that forced her to flee her home for months. Then the city council on which she had sat voted to impeach her.

Her crime: recording and posting a video online criticising demonstrators who, in the fraught days after Brazil’s election, rallied outside an army base in the town of São Miguel do Oeste. National anthem blaring, the supporters of defeated far-right president Jair Bolsonaro extended their right arms, palms flat, in salute.

“The whole world saw that it was a Nazi gesture. It’s a gesture that you never do, you can’t do,” said Capra.

The incident in São Miguel do Oeste was among several that reignited fears about the growth of far-right extremism in Brazil, particularly in the country’s south. Historically home to German and Italian immigrants, southern states such as Paraná and Santa Catarina, where São Miguel is located, have long been conservative strongholds. They remain a bastion of political support for Bolsonaro, the populist former army captain.

Capra’s alarm over the salute was echoed by the ambassadors of Germany and Israel and the Brazilian Holocaust Museum. Yet the council ousted her after an investigation declared the gesture was “culturally common in the region”, where it is used in religious oaths and graduations.

In recent months, southern Brazil has been the focus of numerous police investigations into neo-Nazi cells. More than a dozen raids were carried out in one week in July alone, with police seizing “vast [amounts of] Nazi and extremist material”, plus four firearms and dozens of knives and other weapons, including two maces. Thirteen of the 15 search warrant locations were in southern states, while the other two were in São Paulo state.
