Furore over German 'Brevik' clothing shop in Chemnitz

A clothing label popular among German neo-Nazis has angered officials in eastern Germany by opening a shop called "Brevik" - similar to the Norwegian mass killer's name "Breivik".

Thor Steinar, a German brand, uses Nordic themes and names its shops after places in Norway.

Brevik is a town south of Oslo with about 2,700 residents.

The "Brevik" shop has opened in Chemnitz. A town hall spokeswoman said such a name was "quite unacceptable".

Yeah this is not a coincidence. Thor Steinar is a Norwegian name, and they also use the Norwegian flag on their clothes. The nazis saw scandinavia and Norway in particular as a kind of pure aryan people. Ironically there are way more blonde people in Finland.

I live in Germany right now, and i am really tempted to head down there...
