Nazi tracker app coming soon to a German iPhone near you

Berlin gegen Nazis


At a time when ultra-nationalist rallies are becoming a weekly occurrence in the German capital of Berlin, activists are turning to apps to help track the extremist movement and ensure it doesn't evolve into something more dangerous, RT reports. The app, which is named "Berlin Gegen Nazis" (Berlin Against Nazis), shares the same name as the anti-Nazi movement itself and is expected to be released on the iPhone in the immediate future.

Using the app, citizens and law enforcement can map extremist activity and organize rallies in opposition to Nazi activity. Brown lines represent gatherings identified as Nazi-centric, while orange lines show oppositional rallies, creating a sort of chess match between the two factions. The group, and by extension, the app, have the support of the Berlin city government as well as other democratic groups.
