Overview
Formed: 
January 1, 2018

The Sonnenkrieg Division (SKD) is the United Kingdom-based affiliate of the Atomwaffen Division (AWD). The German term “Sonnenkrieg” translates to “sun war” or “solar war.” SKD originated as a splinter group of the System Resistance Network, which is an alias of National Action (NA), a proscribed British neo-Nazi organization. Its ideology includes a fixation on satanism, pedophilia, rape, and other acts of violence. Like AWD, SKD valorizes James Mason’s accelerationist philosophy in SIEGE and promotes white supremacy extremism.
