[1] His connections to leaders and members of the German neo-Nazi scene date back to 1971 when, at just 18 years old, Lauck established the Auslandsorganisation (Overseas Organization) of the National Socialist Combat Groups.
He published large volumes of neo-Nazi literature in several languages and distributed computer disks containing detailed bomb-making instructions through a network of European collaborators.
[1] In 1990, Lauck facilitated a partnership between the NSDAP/AO and the Swedish neo-Nazi group Sveriges Nationella Forbund, which played a key role in forming the "Nordic National Socialist Bloc" alongside activists in Norway.
[7] That same year, he played a pivotal role in assisting Kühnen, Gottfried Küssel, and Christian Worch in establishing a network of Gesinnungsgemeinschaft der Neuen Front cells across the former East Germany after German reunification.
[9] In 1995, Lauck was arrested in Denmark, sparking a far-right campaign in the United States opposing his extradition to Germany, where he was wanted for distributing neo-Nazi propaganda.
