"Reports of 'Neo Nazi Guards' at Amazon Warehouses in Gemany Create Fresh Scandal"
As of recently, the standards of working in Germany haven't been getting good press. One example is Amazon, the online retailer, whose packing and distribution centers have been called grim by the German Television Channel ARD in a recent documentary. In the documentary, temporary workers hired through agencies by Amazon are interviewed. Most of these workers come from outside the country and live onsight. They described how guards would intimidate them by searching their homes.

Not without controversy, these guards appear to have connections to Germany's political far-right. ARD  reports that the security firm went by the name HESS Security, which  is thought to be a reference to Adolf Hitler's deputy, Rudolf Hess. Furthering this theory is the mysterious man who runs security, who is known for associating himself with soccer hooligans and neo-nazi's.

Within the documentary, the guards are shown wearing military style haircuts and black uniforms, some of which were from the brand Thor Steinar, a clothing brand strongly associated with Germany's far-right.

Amazon has responded to the allegations with a promise of investigation. Amazon Spokeswoman Ulrike states "Even though the security company wasn't hired by Amazon we are of course examining the allegations (...) and will take appropriate measures immediately."
