Daniel Halemba (born 2001) is a German politician and member of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.
Daniel Halemba was born in Upper Silesia in Poland in 2001. [1] [2] When he was three years old, his parents moved to Baden-Württemberg before eventually settling in Lower Franconia. He is a university student studying business law. [1]
On 14 September 2023, the police searched a house of the Teutonia Prague fraternity, of which Halemba was a member, and seized evidence. The search was part of an ongoing investigation into the organization for use of banned symbols and incitement to hatred after neighbors had reported hearing "Sieg Heil" shouted from the home. Halemba described the warrant as "totally lawless". Katrin Ebner-Steiner has claimed the house-search was politically motivated, with the aim of harming the AfD. [3]
On 8 October 2023, Halemba was elected to the Bavarian State Parliament in the 2023 Bavarian state election. [4] On 27 October, three days before the constituent session, an arrest-warrant was issued against him. Since the investigations had already taken place before the constituent session of the state parliament, Halemba was not allowed political immunity afterwards. Halemba's defense lawyer, the former AfD politician Dubravko Mandic , said he has applied for a detention review of the arrest warrant at the Würzburg District Court . Initially, the arrest warrant could not be executed because Halemba could not be found. The Bavarian Ministry of the Interior told BR24 on October 28, 2023 that the search for Halemba was underway at full speed. [5] Halemba was arrested on the morning of October 30, 2023 in Kirchheim unter Teck on suspicion of incitement to hatred and the use of signs of anti-constitutional organizations. [6]

The far-right in Germany slowly reorganised itself after the fall of Nazi Germany and the dissolution of the Nazi Party in 1945. Denazification was carried out in Germany from 1945 to 1949 by the Allied forces of World War II, with an attempt of eliminating Nazism from the country. However, various far-right parties emerged in the post-war period, with varying success. Most parties only lasted a few years before either dissolving or being banned, and explicitly far-right parties have never gained seats in the Bundestag post-WWII.
The Nazi salute, also known as the Hitler salute, or the Sieg Heil salute, is a gesture that was used as a greeting in Nazi Germany. The salute is performed by extending the right arm from the shoulder into the air with a straightened hand. Usually, the person offering the salute would say "Heil Hitler!", "Heil, mein Führer!", or "Sieg Heil!". It was officially adopted by the Nazi Party in 1926, although it had been used within the party as early as 1921, to signal obedience to the party's leader, Adolf Hitler, and to glorify the German nation. The salute was mandatory for civilians but mostly optional for military personnel, who retained a traditional military salute until the failed assassination attempt on Hitler on 20 July 1944.
