Uwe Mundlos
[3] It was there that Mundlos often met with the later NSU-members and supporters Uwe Böhnhardt, Beate Zschäpe, Ralf Wohlleben, Holger Gerlach and Andre Kapke.
Mundlos immersed himself further into the neo-Nazi scene, attending skinhead concerts, and taking part in memorial marches for Nazi politician Rudolf Hess as well as a National Democratic Party of Germany demonstration.
From 1995 he was part of the core of the Anti-Antifa group in East Thuringia and together with friends Uwe Böhnhardt and Beate Zschäpe.
[4] On 29 June 1995, the Amtsgericht Chemnitz sentenced Mundlos to 20 days in prison and a fine of 30 DM for "producing and keeping symbols of unconstitutional organisations".
On 1 November 1996, Mundlos was banned from the Buchenwald concentration camp memorial because he had entered the grounds together with Uwe Böhnhardt wearing Sturmabteilung (SA) uniforms.
His company commander requested a disciplinary arrest of seven days, because Mundlos "carried a personal business card with the head of Adolf Hitler and a picture of his deputy Rudolf Hess".
Mundlos was taken into custody, and officers searched his flat, finding 15 cassettes of right-wing extremist music and leaflets from the NPD.
In March 1995 he was interrogated by the MCS and asked "whether he could imagine reporting dates for attacks on asylum seekers' homes of which he had become aware of to the police or the constitutional protection authorities".
The MCS kept a file on Mundlos' contacts which was destroyed 15 years after the end of his military service.The matter came to light in September 2012 when MP Hans-Christian Ströbele asked the Bundestag's NSU investigation committee about it.
[8] Mundlos had "performed well" as a gunner and assistant to his company squad leader, according to a certificate from the end of his military service.
On 9 November 1996, the memorial day of Kristallnacht, when multiple hundreds of Jews were murdered, hand axes, batons, a throwing star, knives, a BB gun and a Nazi poster were found in their car.
Until 2011, they relied on a network of old acquaintances from the neo-Nazi scene who supported them with flats, money, weapons and official documents.
[1] The terror trio committed the "largest and bloodiest series of crimes since the attacks of the Red Army Faction".
