"Sturmmann" in neo-nazi context

I wondered if somebody could cite a source for "Sturmmann" typically referring to "a member of a Neo-Nazi group" these days. I, as a German, have never heard it in that context and find it quite absurd. -84.58.45.1 18:31, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

If the literal translation is stormtrooper, would not a paramilitary Neo-Nazi group call thier members Sturmmanner or something like that? I difer to the German speaker, but that would make sense to me. -Husnock 19:08, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Well, maybe it would make sense to use SS/SA ranks if there were such a group. But can you name one? I'm pretty sure if this usage was common, I would've heard about it. -84.58.45.156 00:26, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

I am German citizen too and haven't heard of it either. 88.73.91.109 20:40, 3 December 2007 (UTC) Tim

I second the objections of my compatriots and want to add that the mentioning of the modern german armed forces doesn't make sense either. At least not in a official manner. --212.144.95.105 (talk) 19:14, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

It is not used in current german military context. A soldier using this would get disciplinary punishment. --82.113.121.29 (talk) 22:39, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
