Sensationalised by the mainstream media; vilified by German authorities. Flash mobs calling themselves The Immortals have been recorded over the last few months brandishing touches, wearing white masks and carrying banners bearing far-right slogans in towns across Germany.

Further evidence of the European right-wing's ascending popularity amidst the ongoing crisis? Undoubtably.
A German neo-Nazi group has been harnessing 21st century technology to stage terrifying flash-mob protests that echo the fascist torch rallies of the 1930s -- and then make them go viral.
In a demonstration on May 1st in Bauzen, Germany hundreds of black-clad figures with white masks suddenly converged in a street carrying torches and signs with extreme nationalist slogans, then dissipated before a major police presence could arrive, according to Germany's Die Zeit newspaper.
The scene evokes the days of the Third Reich, when the Nazi SA would march with torches held high during night rallies as they saluted Hitler, according to Die Zeit.
A group calling themselves 'Die Unsterblichen' (The Immortals) has been orchestrating these kinds of flash mobs in cities all over Germany for the past several months, according to CNN. Several videos of their spontenous protests can be found on YouTube, some of them with tens of thousands of views.
