Nerling connects to the ideas of the Reichcitizens, and since 2020 also conspiracy theories of the so-called "Querdenker" movement ("lateral thinker" ).[1] After he downplayed the Holocaust publicly at the Dachau concentration camp memorial, he was fined in December 2019 for hate speech.[2][3][4] Nikolai Nerling is considered a networker within the neo-Nazi and Holocaust denial scene.
