AfD Leak: What 421,179 Hacked Emails Show about the German Far Right
Points and comments are a snapshot, not live.
Hacked AfD emails reveal antisemitism, racism, and violent fantasies.
A website published summaries of 421,179 hacked AfD emails (281 GB), showing party supporters using racist slurs, sharing antisemitic conspiracy theories, joking about refugees being turned into handbags, discussing whether to shoot refugees at the border, and sending a Christmas card with a swastika and "Heil Hitler." The emails are categorized by severity and type, including corruption, leadership feuds, and violence threats. The party confirmed the hack. Torrenting the material may be illegal in Germany.
What commenters are saying
The thread's center of gravity is frustration with the paywall, with many comments refusing to provide an email to read the full article. Several users shared alternative links, including a Euronews article and the hexane.cc site hosting the leak. A secondary debate emerged over whether the AfD is a Russian asset or a homegrown movement, with commenters split. Some discussed the apparent contradiction of the AfD supporting Israel while harboring antisemitic views, arguing it reflects a focus on anti-Muslim sentiment.
