Story is from 2013. They sacked the security company in question: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ibtimes.co.uk&#x2F;amazon-hess-neo-nazi-fire-436480" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ibtimes.co.uk&#x2F;amazon-hess-neo-nazi-fire-436480</a>

This doesn&#x27;t strike me as Amazon&#x27;s fault. In germany, it would be very easy to hire neo-nazis by accident, since a lot of security organizations are nazis, and their dogwhistles are really very cryptic. If I see somebody in Germany wearing a Londsale hoody, for example, I assume they are a nazi - because Lonsdale can be truncated to ]nsda[ which looks like NSDAP. They have loads of little signs and symbols like this.<p>Anybody who isn&#x27;t german, or even isn&#x27;t in the left scene (or alternately, a nazi themselves) would find it hard to keep up with all their signs.

Maybe other, more reliable sources and not from 2013 would be useful! Anyone knows how this story developed? Was anything proven since? Did these practices change?

is it so hard for the independent to include a link&#x2F;name&#x2F;source to the documentary?
