According to testimony at a trial, a "Nazi" who is suspected of planning terrorist strikes talked of torturing a Muslim leader with his "information extraction kit."
"I can’t wait to hang me a p***" is what Brogan Stewart reportedly told an undercover cop one month prior to his arrest.
According to the prosecution, he was one of three guys planning to attack mosques and synagogues with firearms, explosives, and bladed weapons.
Prior to their arrest in February 2024, the 'right-wing fanatics' were allegedly 'preparing for a racial war'.
On Thursday, March 6, prosecutor Jonathan Sandiford KC told Sheffield Crown Court about Stewart's conversations with an undercover agent he dubbed Blackheart on the Telegram app.
According to Mr. Sandiford, Stewart informed Blackheart that they needed to form a "new einsatzgruppe" a month prior to his arrest, alluding to Adolf Hitler's infamous SS murder squad.
Stewart told the officer: "I can’t wait to hang me a p***… Hate them bro… they’re a cancer that needs stamping out… F****** everywhere mate.
"Place is crawling with them… We need to establish a new einsatzgruppe to deal with it… it’s the only way to secure the future of the white race."
Stewart is said to have later told Blackheart: "Open warfare will be exceedingly hard. I suppose if target people of import first.
"Such as local imams who will probably be giving orders to foot soldiers."
Stewart, from Tingley, Wakefield, West Yorkshire, is on trial with Marco Pitzettu, from Mickleover, Derbyshire, and Christopher Ringrose, from Cannock.
They refute accusations of planning terrorist attacks and gathering information that could be helpful to someone planning or carrying out an act of terrorism.
Ringrose refutes an additional accusation of producing an illegal weapon.
Stewart told the undercover officer that he had a "information extraction kit" that comprised a blow torch, pliers, gaffer tape, a screwdriver, bleach, and a syringe, according to Mr. Sandiford, who testified in court.
"A couple of hours working on him will have the c*** singing out anything we want him to," the prosecutor claimed Stewart added.
Nothing "loosened up" individuals "like seeing a syringe filled with bleach," he continued.
Blackheart is the 'Obergruppenfuhrer' and Stewart is the 'Fuhrer' of Einsatz 14, an organisation that Stewart allegedly founded and that the other two defendants joined.
Stewart said "personally, I’ve taken inspiration from the SS" in response to Blackheart's question regarding the group's beliefs.
"I also hope that we can extort political rivals and possibly plan operations to meet migrants landing on our beaches and deal with them," he is reported to have remarked.
"As the race war comes to unfold I’d expect members to stand by, wait for orders and deploy to combat our…"
The court heard that Stewart, 25, sent the officer a list of 'standard uniform' for Einsatz 14 which included a Black SS helmet, 'mask, balaclava, skull face mask or anything to hide identity'.
It also included a Swastika armband, although the defendant said this was "not a given, it must be earned".
Potential recruits were allegedly sent a vetting form with questions such as "What is your opinion on the historic paramilitary force, the SS?" and "Out of so many different options, who would you say you hold most of your hatred for – kikes, n******, s***skins, f*** etc and why".
The prosecutor told jurors that Stewart asked Ringrose, 34, to join the group, asking him: "This is a militant unit. Are you willing to fight for your race?"
Mr Sandiford said Ringrose replied with a GIF saying: "That’s why I’m here."
Ringrose’s completed vetting form confirmed that he hated "S***skin c**** coming on dingys" and "Jews because they run everything and manipulate the masses", the prosecutor alleged.
Pitzettu’s form said that the "SS were proud men who believed in their country" and that the 25-year-old "had a location filled with weaponry".
Mr Sandiford said three of the seven members of Einsatz 14 were undercover officers.
He told the court that Stewart developed a mission statement for the group which said its 'basic duties' included to 'target mosques, Islamic education centres and other similar locations'.
The group discussed potential targets at the end of January 2024, the jury were told.
Stewart sent Blackheart details of the Islamic Education Centre, in Mexborough Road, Leeds, including a Google Maps image.
The officer asked Stewart for more detailed information about the plan, with the defendant allegedly replying that they could smash windows or ambush someone.
According to Mr Sandiford, Stewart said: "It depends how far we are willing to go.
"It could be a beating with batons and bats or something more serious."
The three were arrested in February 2024 after security services suspected they were assembling or attempting to assemble weapons for an impending attack, as the jury had previously heard.
According to Mr. Sandiford, Ringrose had begun constructing a semi-automatic firearm using 3D printing and was attempting to obtain the other components.
'Right-wing radicals who saw themselves as National Socialists, or Nazis,' he claimed of the three accused.
