Nazi Pop Twins is an
eerie documentary that debuted this year on BBC's
Channel Four about the neo-Nazi teen folk musicians,
Prussian Blue. The girls are managed by a neo-Nazi stage mom from hell, and the girls already seem to be more interested in shopping at the mall than singing white power lyrics. One of the creepiest scenes includes the twin girls on a phone call with their prison "pen pal,"
David Lane, the Neo-Nazi convicted of the murder of radio talk show host,
Alan Berg. Lane refers to the twin girls as his "fantasy sweethearts," raising issues about whether an obsession with genetic "purity" leads to
pedophilia on the Racist Right. Watch the documentary on YouTube (Parts
