[94] On March 25, 2020, a Missouri man affiliated with Atomwaffen allegedly planned to destroy a hospital treating coronavirus victims with a car bomb and died in a shootout with the FBI.

[105] According to the director of the University of New Brunswick's Criminology and Criminal Justice Program, David Hoffman, Atomwaffen is using Active Clubs as a cover for organizing where it has been outlawed as a terrorist group.

[90][34][114][25][21] The organization explicitly advocated neo-Nazism, drawing a significant amount of influences from James Mason and his publication Siege, a mid-1980s newsletter of the National Socialist Liberation Front that paid tribute to Adolf Hitler, Joseph Tommasi, Charles Manson, and Savitri Devi.

[116][68] The AWD was one of the most notable groups who belong to the militant far-right accelerationist movement popularized by James Nolan Mason and the now-defunct Iron March forum.

Instead, it emphasizes using violently terroristic actions (the 'accelerant') to increasingly destabilize a nation until its own government completely loses the ability to maintain fundamental security and development functions.

[117][118] Meanwhile, it is at this point that a revolutionary vanguard party can successfully seize power and rebrand the former democratic government into, in this case, a white ethnostate based upon authoritarian neo-fascist ideals akin to Nazi Germany.

According to an investigation by German Amadeu Antonio Foundation published on 19 April 2021, the members were acquiring Uzi submachine guns and had attended Azov training camps in Ukraine.

[196] It had previously praised the actions of Dylann Roof, Robert Bowers, Timothy McVeigh and Brenton Harrison Tarrant, and encouraged violence against government authorities, Jews, LGBTQ people, leftists and feminists.

[156][26] According to Eesti Ekspress, Estonian Internal Security Service detained a local teenager alleged to be one of the leaders and recruiters for the group, operating under the nickname "Commander" or "Kriegsherr" ("Warlord").

[229] On February 1, 2021, a Cornish teenager said to have been the leader of the UK branch of the Feuerkrieg Division pleaded guilty to 12 terrorism offences, making him one of Britain's youngest convicted terrorists.
