Editing Skinhead (section)

=== Germany ===
By the 1980s street fights regularly broke out in [[West Germany]] between skinheads and members of the [[anti-fascist]], and [[left wing]] youth movements. German [[neo-nazism|neo-nazis]], led among others by [[Michael Kühnen]], sought to expand their ranks with new young members from the burgeoning skinhead scene. On the other side of the [[Berlin Wall]], in [[East Germany]], the skinhead youth movement had developed two different styles: one was more focused on rebellious youth fashion styles while the other camp often dressed in regular clothes and focused more heavily on political activity. These groups were infiltrated by agents of the [[Stasi]] and did not last long in East Germany. After a group of skinheads attacked a punk concert at Zion's Church (East Berlin) in 1987, many skinhead leaders fled to West Germany to avoid arrest.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Ostow |first=Robin |date=1995 |title=" 'Ne Art Bürgerwehr in Form von Skins": Young Germans on the Streets in the Eastern and Western States of the Federal Republic |journal=New German Critique |issue=64 |pages=87–103 |doi=10.2307/488465 |issn=0094-033X |jstor=488465}}</ref>
