All the symbols depicted in the hate symbols database must be evaluated in the context in which they appear. Few symbols represent just one idea or are used exclusively by one group. For example, 100% is often used as an amount or an expression and it is also used by some white supremacists as shorthand for "100% white." Similarly, other symbols in this database may be significant to people who are not extreme or racist. The descriptions here point out significant multiple meanings but may not be able to relay every possible meaning of a particular symbol.

Hate on Display / National Socialist Legion

Group Status: Legacy (the group is no longer active, but some symbols may remain as tattoos, graffiti, etc.)

The National Socialist Legion is a small neo-Nazi group that originated in early 2018 as a breakaway faction of Vanguard America, another neo-Nazi group. The Legion has exhibited activity—primarily propaganda distribution—in around eight states. The Legion describes itself as a “revolutionary National Socialist organization” preparing for “the coming Racial Holy War.” New members ostensibly are required to read white supremacist texts such as Siege and The Turner Diaries.

The logo for the National Socialist Legion is a shield emblem featuring the colors red, black and white (the colors of the Nazi flag). The interior of the shield is divided into two sections. The upper right section features horizontal red and white stripes, like the American flag. The lower left section features a white Wolfsangel on a black background.
