Overview
Formed: 
January 1, 2018

The Feuerkrieg Division (FKD) is an accelerationist neo-Nazi militant organization that operates internationally as an affiliate of the Atomwaffen Division (AWD). The German term “Feuerkrieg” translates to “fire war.” FKD was founded in October 2018 as an AWD affiliate in Estonia, allegedly by a 13-year-old schoolboy, and quickly expanded overseas. The group reportedly operates mostly online and targets youth and teenagers for radicalization and recruitment. Like AWD, FKS adheres to the "Siege culture" ideology inspired by U.S. neo-Nazi James Mason's calls for a race war. Since its founding, FKD has expanded its operations across Europe and in the United States.
