Combat 18 (or C18) is the "armed wing" of the British neo-Nazi organization Blood & Honour. The "18" in its name is commonly used by neo-Nazi groups, and is derived from the initials of Adolf Hitler; A and H are the first and eighth letters of the Latin alphabet. Not much is known of the secretive organisation, as it tends to operate in small groups and tries not to attract much attention. It is however known it is armed, and has members from the USA, Australia, Britain, and other nations. Image File history File links Combat18_skull. ...
